I think for an artist there are so many things to make pictures of now, that everyone else may be suffering, but at least artists will just be stimulated by it all.

Artists always live in the cracks anyway, whatever culture they're in. They're usually accustomed to not having much money, to kind of roughing it.

Street posters allowed you to have the last word. If you put them up in your neighborhood, you were speaking to your neighbor.

Everything you do is political, even if it's abstract. You're making a political statement even if it's unwittingly.

Doing art that has a happy ending, that doesn't seem really corny, is extremely difficult to pull off convincingly.

When I was younger, when I was a teenager, the work was more satirical and funny and cartoony. And part of it was chops - if you have a more limited repertoire of stick figures and cartoon characters, they lend themselves more to humor than to tragedy.

Everyone wants to be part of the 99%, even the cops are like, "No, no, man. I'm part of the 99% too." No one wants to be part of the 1%.
