When it comes to performing and entertaining, the art removes itself from the writing.
One of the things that I love about painting is that I never consider myself to have an audience.
If humor is not present, I tend to be concerned about the artist, or distrusting of what they're presenting - unless there is an obvious tragedy being talked about.
Whether it's about children or not, we have to move forward.
To me, humor is part of a conversation with an audience.
I have always considered myself an artist and painting was the first medium that I claimed.
