The majority of his work focuses in popular icons and symbols of American culture (Superman, Mickey Mouse, Empire State Building). The focus of his work is to reinvent our cultural symbols to more befit out culture today. Meaning that each one of his works is set up to appears as though it is in a crises. One reviewer said his work is "pop culture icon(s) updated for a turbulent and anxious new era."
