I take myself seriously and want my image to me more than just something aesthetically suited towards selling records.

Speak with your own voice and be as unique as you possibly can.

It's important for me to have different tiers of value for the art. Some of the silk-screens are really affordable, but I do have some high-end silk-screens that are several color layers and a little more expensive, and then I have the paintings that can get way up there.

Not everybody is going to love what you do, but you have to be yourself, that's what's most important. Bring it as hard as you can.

When I was really young, I gravitated towards the visual arts first. I feel that's what comes most naturally to me. I've always had an immediate proclivity towards making visual art and I was a really tactile kid.

I recognize that no matter how old I get, how many records I've done, or what the public perception of me is, there are still exciting things that I haven't done.

The important thing isn't that your technically great, I think it's the power of your expression.
