I Am Not A Black Artist, I

I Wanted To Build Up A Name For Myself.

I Was A Really Lousy Artist As A Kid. Too Abstract Expressionist; Or I'd Draw A Big Ram's Head, Really Messy. I'd Never Win Painting Contests. I Remember Losing To A Guy Who Did A Perfect Spiderman.

I Wanted To Be A Cartoonist When I Was Young.

The More I Paint The More I Like Everything.

My Favorite Twombly Is 'apollo And The Artist,' With The Big 'apollo' Written Across It.
