I'm Poor White Trash From The State

The Reason I Don't Like Realist, Photorealist, Neorealist, Or Whatever, Is That I Am As Interested In The Artificial As I Am In The Real.

I Knew From The Age Of Five What I Wanted To Do. The One Thing I Could Do Was Draw. I Couldn't Draw That Much Better Than Some Of The Other Kids, But I Cared More And I Wanted It Badly.

I'm Plagued With Indecision In My Life. I Can't Figure Out What To Order In A Restaurant.

Neurologically, I'm A Quadriplegic, So Virtually Everything About My Work Has Been Driven By My Learning Disabilities, Which Are Quite Severe, And My Lack Of Facial Recognition, Which I'm Sure Is What Drove Me To Paint Portraits In The First Place.

You Can Give The Same Recipe To Ten Cooks, And Some Make It Come Alive, And Some Make A Flat Souffle. A System Doesn't Guarantee Anything.
