The most frequent question I get asked as an artist is: How did you come up with that? While I somehow always stumble my way through a coherent answer, it is undeniable that creativity begets more creativity. Like a sport, it takes practice to develop your creative muscles. So I started Phil in the Whaaat? (PITW). PITW aims to restore creativity through the active practice of combining and recombining ideas, breaking through the mental barriers about materials and techniques in order to move to a new mindset of rethinking categories and challenging accepted norms.

I'm a multimedia artist who specilzes in representative portraiture, using media that connect to the subject matter, such as karate chops, tricycle wheel imprints, burger grease, worms, viewers' experiences, etc. I'm always pushing myself to experiment with new media as I'm titllated by the creation process that combines and recombines ideas to create something new. Here are some of my art videos. For more art, visit philinthecircle.com
