an essentially self-taught "experimental" multimedia artist & musician with no time to animate or make music anymore,
often most inspired by the most amateur, untaught individuals — creators who create due to an inability to not create. those who want only to inspire, to inform, to educate, who see the world differently and / or have something to prove (often to themselves).
Wampastompa creates art that never leaves the computer, where he is free to play with the rough-edged squareness of loose pixels, each fighting to stay in place against an inorganic grid of dadaist exploits. His catalog feels based in kitsch, outsider art, naively rendered like children learning a new tool. Wampastompa relishes these moments, a fight against the purity of the ethos that computer graphics should replicate the real world — this is modern folk art, born from the culture of the internet.
