Apricot uses Prisma color pencils on archival board. His artwork is inspired by various Sci-fi and Horror movies, taking from them the cheesy and kitsch aspects. They are his envisionment of B movies that are fleshed out in his drawings, using vivid colors and horror elements. Using his carpentry skills for each piece he creates zaney frames that continue the theme into them.
