A face is a road map of someone's life. Without any need to amplify that or draw attention to it, there's a great deal that's communicated about who this person is and what their life experiences have been.

Paintings can make you cry and it's just **colored dirt**.

Inspiration is for amateurs. professionals work everyday. Personally the best inspiration is a deadline.

If it looks like art, chances are it's somebody else's art.

Losing my father at a tender age was extremely important in being able to accept what happened to me later when I became a quadriplegic.

I don't work with inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs. I just get to work.

At the same time that I'm finding the color world I want, I'm also trying to make the imagery, you know, by the nature of the strokes themselves.
