I grew up on a farm with only two TV channels. I didn't grow up around much culture. When I got excited about painting, I never really got further than what would have been in a modern art history textbook.

I didn't really get into underground comics, though I've liked some of what I've seen. Dame Darcy was very impressive to meet, really talented. In general, I've always been more interested in searching out music, so I think I miss out on a lot of underground art.

Now I always listen to music when I work, so when I am working a lot, that is when I start searching out new music and finding new things to get excited about.

I had so many ideas that I wanted to get out at once that it led to simple little drawings and paintings.
