Matrix

by Zach Whalen

"As is true with the giants of the art world, Whalen takes a universal theme, borrows a reference from contemporary culture and synthesizes the two into an original masterpiece. Lesser artists would shy away from rendering a text-centric IM conversation into a visually pleasing form. Whalen, on the other hand, shoulders the challenge, dry humps it and then wraps it in cheesecloth to ferment under his uncle's armpit." --Dave McAwesome, Journal of High and Pompous Art
