beautiful mean painting
It fascinates me to create beautiful paintings with the simplest means.
space ceilings painting
Whenever I got a new studio I made the largest possible painting, and since the ceiling was low, the painting became horizontal. As I changed studios and got larger spaces, I made bigger paintings.
feelings painting bigs
If you are close to it, a big painting is just a feeling around you, that's all.
way energy painting
In many ways my paintings are about energy — both in how they are created and the image itself.
memories remember painting
Paintings are memories. Memories of the painter who painted them. Memories that can be shared as well. Paintings are things to remember things by.
When I started out, I wanted to paint the Sistine Chapel. But I didn't have the content.
billboard good man outdoor
I started billboard painting in Minneapolis, and I went to General Outdoor Advertising, and I said, 'I could do that.' They said, 'Oh yeah... we can always use a good man around here.'

I used to know Madison Avenue advertisers. I didn't like 'em. Bunch of jerks.

Scientists say, 'There is no such thing as time; gravity is a dust from another universe, and outside our own universe are many, many universes in all directions.' They speculate that attached to these universes are probably 6,000 planets identical to Earth. So are there things living out there? Animals, people, anything?
half marshall
I was on a panel with Marshall McLuhan in Canada. Someone says, 'Mr. McLuhan, I read your book, and I disagree with you.' And he says, 'Oh, you read my book? Then you only know half the story.'
art money
Many young artists, they look at the art world and think they can make a lot of money.
I think of my actions every day: what seems to be important and what isn't.
