Artist Bio

Christoper Newman, who works under the moniker sadboymommyissues, is a self-taught visual artist from Detroit by way of Queens, New York. He is depressed. He is an addict. He needs you to see his flaws. 

Dealing with themes of addiction, mental illness, and masculinity his largely autobiographical work consists of crude child-like drawings often accompanied by written commentary. With a primary focus on letterpress and silkscreen, Chris reproduces hand drawn scribbles that depict the sad reality of hypocrisy, irony, and humor in society and within his own twisted mind.
