If you don't use an image now you might have a place to put it in further down the line - and I have a lot of unfinished drawings.

Back in the '80s, a lot of the images I used were from TV or from films on TV.

I don't have extravagant tastes or expenses - like with cars, clothes, or whatever.

I don't want to express violence or anger or hate in my art. I want to express forgiveness.

I really don't see any influence of my work on any artists. But I do think I've had an influence on drawings' being shown. I've had an influence on the economics of it.

In my time, we had little league and junior league or whatever - before that, there's the sandlot. Kids played baseball wherever you can make a space. We played tackle-football on the street. Now we play basketball in the studio. We have a hoop. But we also have a pitching machine.

There are instances where lines in my work are borrowed or stolen from sources, mainly from books, or they become my own versions. A lot of the writing is my own, too. But if someone were to take each drawing and trace it back to its source, most of them could be traced back to a book or a text.
