When one paints an ideal one does not need to limit one's imagination.

Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. It's the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands but brains imagination heart maybe.

To put down an ideogram of a table so that people will recognize it as a table is not the work of a painter but to sense it for a moment as a magic carpet with a leg hanging down at each corner is the beginning of a painter's imagination.

Imagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with a little science fiction.

I paint objects as I think them not as I see them.

Concerning God freewill and destiny: Of all that earth has been or yet may be all that vain men imagine or believe or hope can paint or suffering may achieve we descanted.

But what is Hope? Nothing but the paint on the face of Existence the least touch of truth rubs it off and then we see what a hollow-cheeked harlot we have got hold of.

I do portraits. I usually do live models in a class environment but I've been painting at home more. I really love the human form and I love faces. I've tried to do landscapes a few times.

I don't know what my label is. I just think of myself as a plain forward. I like to think I have some finesse to my game but inside the paint is where men are made. If you can't play there you should be home with your mama.

When I stop working I go out and start working again. Most people paint a picture or whatever they do and go home. For me it has to be continuous.
