Painting and drawing has been here for 35,000 years.

On the 31st of October 2011 year, I had a mini-stroke. I couldn't finish my sentences. So I went to the doctor. It was a tiny one. The speech came back in a month or so. I did notice I could draw even better, I felt. I was concentrating more. And I wasn't talking much, but I was drawing. I said, "Well, I don't have to talk much."

Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.

What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space.

It's all right if you don't mind looking at the world from the point of view of a paralyzed Cyclops—for a split second.

The camera can't see space. It sees surfaces. People see space, which is much more interesting.

Once you start painting, you could of course get lost. I mean you get out of yourself, you don't know whether you're thinking, you just act actually sometimes.
