From his website it looks like he began his works around 1975 and hasn't stopped since. He has a variety of works from paintings to prints to Polaroids.
His work is very different and sometimes be abstract I love that his work involves his dogs. They are so well behaved compared to my dog at least! For our homage I chose to do him so I am excited to see how well my dog will behave. This should be interesting to say the least.
