All My Art Is In Some Way

But When I Worked On A Painting I Would Do It From A Drawing But I Would Put Certain Things I Was Fairly Sure I Wanted In The Painting, And Then Collage On The Painting With Printed Dots Or Painted Paper Or Something Before I Really Committed It.

Im Interested In What Would Normally Be Considered The Worst Aspects Of Commercial Art. I Think Its The Tension Between What Seems To Be So Rigid And Cliched And The Fact That Art Really Cant Be This Way.

There Must Be Something About Art... Almost All Cultures Have Done Art. It's A Refining Of The Senses, Which Are There To Keep Us Alive. As Far As We Know, No Other Animals Do That.

I Don't Think That I'm Over His Influence But They Probably Don't Look Like Picassos; Picasso Himself Would Probably Have Thrown Up Looking At My Pictures.

Usually I Begin Things Through A Drawing, So A Lot Of Things Are Worked Out In The Drawing. But Even Then, I Still Allow For And Want To Make Changes. I Kind Of Do The Drawing With The Painting In Mind, But It's Very Hard To Guess At A Size Or A Color And The Colors Around It And What It Will Really Look Like. It's Only A Guess At The Beginning, And Then I Try To Refine It.
