I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting.

I don't think irony is about judgment; I think irony is something like, "Oh, that's interesting," because it's not something I think one starts off to achieve. I think it's just something that presents itself. And if it does, I find it's usually optimistic, not negative in its terms.

As an artist, I've always wanted to participate in the dialogue of art with other artists.

Art has this ability to allow you to connect back through history in the same way that biology does. I'm always looking for source material.

I believe that my art gets across the point that I'm in this morality theater trying to help the underdog, and I'm speaking socially here, showing concern and making psychological and philosophical statements for the underdog.

I like my drawings to be direct. I don't generally work on them for too long, but that doesn't mean that they are not works in their own right.

I learned a lot about the images of pornography and how much they dealt with close-up, when a person is at their most vulnerable and having to reveal details about themselves. I wanted to combine the eternal in two different manners. There is the biological eternal - here is our species reproducing - and then the transparent, spiritual aspect of it.
