My challenge as a satirical artist is how to present ideas to people to enable them to question and reexamine their beliefs. My hope is, that my work provokes people to look at things in a new way.

But I learned first-hand how the news media operates by watching how they interpreted, changed, and misrepresented my intentions.

We function in a pack mentality. This is our tribe. And this is how we are exploited - sold a bill of goods and a household of products.

The media is not just the message. The media is a massage. We're constantly being stroked, manipulated, adjusted, realigned, and manoeuvered.

If I'm successful in fooling a wire service, I don't really have to do anything else to promote the story.

But my favorite work is always my next piece.

The media's job is to question a premise.
