He occasionally draws from television and such themes as "misguided role models" that result from it. He has said that "Australians are raised by Americans on TV" and also that "TV is the contemporary mode of meditation". His children have had a profound impact on the way he creates art, he has drawn from "watching what [his] own children are watching on TV" and "what they're bombarded with". He has often stated that he is not trying to make a statement with his work, but to reflect the world around him.
