Sometime when I was in my mid-twenties I noticed, "Hey, even I don't go into too many art galleries. Why? Because I don't like the vibe in them. If even I'm not going into galleries, then who goes into art galleries in the first place?" It's just a certain, very narrow percentage of the population.

Art makes people do a double take and then, if they're looking at the picture, maybe they'll read the text under it that says, "Come to Union Square, For Anti-War Meeting Friday." I've been operating that way ever since - that art is a means to an end rather than simply an end in itself. In art school we're always taught that art is an end in itself - art for art's sake, expressing yourself, and that that's enough.

We all know artists who like to collaborate, who like to work as a team. It all kind of depends what your habitual working method is.

Working people are working even longer hours, even though we won the eight-hour workday at the Haymarket General Strike in Chicago.

The trick is not to look back, but keep on expressing where I'm at now. It's challenging to create something new, so it's crucial to dwell in the present moment.

I find it very difficult to be funny, it's much easier to do tragedy than it is to do comedy.

The poster art over the years, art with social critique in it, has always been trying to make that point - that we are larger than they are.
