thevelvetpancake@gmail.comBrian started making art in his free time about two years ago after reading Subway Art by Martha Cooper. He was immediately drawn to the rebellious side of art, the self taught artists, the weirdos, the risk takers. His main influences are Basquiat, Huma Bhabha and George Condo, but also finds continued inspiration in punk rock. His day job is school counselor, and he has worked with troubled youth for over 20 years. His other interests include guitar, old time banjo, baseball and his kids. He makes his art from his home in Dover, NH.
