Nowadays anyone can show their art to anybody via the Internet.

Nowadays anyone can show their art to anybody via the Internet.

I didn't visit art galleries growing up. I didn't know anything about it. But at 17 I made the decision to leave home and explore. I've been using the Internet since I was 13, so I could see there was this whole world out there.

I created my own space, which was called the cave. It was a live/work space in downtown Los Angeles on 7th and Spring. When I lived there it was quite derelict. I got this massive space and half of it was my bedroom and the other half of it was the back room - no [natural] light, all fluorescent lights.

We live on planet earth, we have the sun, and it's the most beautiful thing, the way the sun dances and the way shadows are cast.

I'm not going to work with a company that uses my artwork, which is precious to me, and not allow me to do certain things.

When I get into a zone, I obsess and I don't care about anything else. I have to make the work.
