Michael Craig-MartinI have been using the computer as a work aid since the mid-90's. It is extraordinarily well suited to how I think and work and has transformed my practice. Nearly everything I have done in the past 15 years would have been impossible without it. I use the computer for drawing, composing and colour planning everything, from postage stamps to paintings to architectural-scale installations.
Michael Craig-MartinI am personally happy for artists to make as much money as they can while they can to carry them through the times when they can't.
