A child of the late ’70s and ‘80s, ChrisRWK’s world was often completely flooded with the imagery and ideas presented by his television, his comic books, and the music and movies of the time. Immersed in these various mediums, ChrisRWK began to store the images brought forward through these everyday experiences in what he refers to as a "mental journal". ChrisRWK’s paintings frequently cite past conceptions of popular culture embedded in his psyche's cache.

In 2001, ChrisRWK set in motionRobotsWillKill.com. Robots Will Kill is an arts site dedicated to community and exposure for artists/media often disregarded by the mainstream art world. Rather than featuring his own work exclusively, he opened it up to allow the possibility for it to become whatever it evolved into being. ChrisRWK uses this interaction and collaboration with artists to help develop his artwork in new ways.
