Not everybody paints what the public will pay for. The method in which an artist receives money is nobody's business, what matters is that paintings are produced.

Not worrying about the cost of materials and tools extends my artistic freedom.

Success is the 'discovery,' the creation of an idea, pulling something out of the depths of your mind that never existed before. To further complete that success, a painting is made as a communication tool for that idea.

Van Gogh is the best example of how a person can be on the right track, propelled by gut feeling and some kind of strange obsessive stubborn conviction, that no one seems to understand.

It's interesting to see the world's fascination with a troubled artist. The artists sure wouldn't share their enthusiasm.

In putting everyone else down, I am raising myself up... and this will continue until my self-esteem rises. I have just sorted out the mystery of why I am always putting down everybody else's artwork.

Make a small painting of what you want to do... and project it up on a white wall... The enlarged version is so changed that there is no way of just visualizing it in the brain... It's a whole new dimension in painting.
