By juxtaposing these two conflicting moods, Alex makes his works more personal to his viewers, forcing them to project their own feelings and emotions onto each character in his twisted universe. Alex continues to use his art as a means of self-medication, creating emotionally charged images on canvases, sketchbooks, and any other surfaces he can cover with his bizarre characters. He is currently working hard on finishing a 50-minute animated movie for Warner Bros Television based on the Chadam character that he created in 2006. Alex is writing, co-directing, and art directing the entire project, which should be finished at the end of 2009.To see more of Alex's work, visit eyesuckink.com and zerofriends.com
