To me, NOTHING is 'new'.

I still get a buzz from seeing young kids making music.

I think there are still plenty of free-thinking creative people out there. There always will be.

In my moments of down time I tend to listen to Blues.

I am interested in Icons, not just religious works but also contemporary icons. I also like the way the Pop movement of the 60s took subjects from consumer products and people - soup cans, comic books, film stars - and elevated them through art, just like in traditional iconography.

Young people are still experiencing the thrill of three chords and over-amplified guitars. They always will.

I don't feel qualified to comment on whether or not the internet has damaged collaboration and creativity. That is not my experience... my experience is that I have had access to meeting people online that I might otherwise not have met, gone on to meet them in real life and collaborated on fun projects.
