I found that if I don't paint for around a week, I get practically suicidal. It took a long time to figure out why I had these mood swings, and I finally figured out it's because I haven't painted.

I have always been interested in having people fall into the image and be aware of their reaction first, and then think about the style.

When I'm not painting, I'm Oujia-boarding with my photos. I'll sort through my pictures, put them in different folders, and come back months later to one in particular and try to figure out why I took it.

I dont think I talk to anybody the same way I talk to Moby.

Photorealism's goal is to reproduce a photograph. The best photorealism can't beat a printer, and I have a really nice printer.

If it weren't for how esoteric the art world likes to be, I would love actually to play the music in the shows, painting the music that influences me most.
art beauty conform convenient created directors discard ideal images lies memories personal specifics
Our memories are convenient lies we create, cribbing images from others' experiences. We discard the personal specifics which don't conform to the ideal conventional beauty created by art directors and cinematographers.
