  2. What is it? • Ironic, sardonic, tongue-in-cheek, caustic • A constructive art that is not trying to destroy, but to inspire reform. • Aims for a sound society through wise, viable institutions. • Appeals to a reasonably intelligent, rational, educated audience

My hope is, that my work provokes people to look at things in a new way. Joey Skaggs "Joey Skaggs." BrainyQuote.com.
