• Artist Statement

  Our piece is of a lot of Yellow Men. We chose random words and then and we distributed the words among ourselves randomly. To us, the Yellow Man is somewhat of a compulsion. Yellow Man, to us, is liberation. The origins of this is found in out first drawing of him, years ago. He was something you drew quick and dirty to annoy, and from those origins, he has escaped the bound of logic. To be a Yellow Man drawing, it was not determined by specific detail but by feeling: sharp harsh lines, disproportioned bodies, absurd corners were rule. We deconstructed what a Yellow Man was and by doing so elevated him beyond reason. Everything could be a Yellow Man, a giraffe, car, ruler, tooth, tongue, foot, screw, on and on. Truly exemplified in our piece, he can anything and he is everything.

  Creativity, to me, is problem solving. You want to show something, you have to figure out how you're supposed to get the thing to want.
