James Carlyle Bundy

Visual Art – Omaha

James Bundy considers himself a shartist, meaning specifically an artist whom works heavily with sharpie markers, he toyed with the idea of going with Sharpist, but thought it sounded arrogant, and didn\'t make him laugh nearly as hard. Being a cheerful pessimist, he masks pain with humor, anger with conviviality and sorrow with bright colors. Not classically trained, he learned his method from the gravel streets and hidden back roads. He claimed to have talked to a deer once, it told him two very important things: Other people decide what you are, not who you are. To be concerned with the what is to forget the who, and that is the only real truth we can know. And secondly, badgers are real dicks. Always fond of mixing mediums and subject matter, as a child he was scolded for drawing a cheese burger with a vulva, a SmashUp of his sexual and culinary fantasies. James dabbled in art on and off for years until an extended period of unemployment lead to a discovery of reclaiming material from garages, sheds, and construction sites. He is an ardent follower of experimentation and believes his spirit animal is Christopher Walken doing and impersonation of Nikola Tesla.
