I Hold Doors Open For

I've Met And Sketched Most Of The Great Athletes From The Past Five Decades And Their Movement, Grace And Energy Have Kept Me Captivated Over The Years. That's What The Ancient Greeks First Saw And That's What Caught My Interest.

Boxing Is My Real Passion. I Can Go To Ballet, Theatre, Movies, Or Other Sporting Events... And Nothing Is Like The Fights To Me. I'm Excited By The Visual Beauty Of It. A Boxer Can Look So Spectacular By Doing A Good Job.

I Draw All The Time. Drawing Is My Backbone. I Don't Think A Painter Has To Be Able To Draw, I Just Think That If You Draw, You Better Draw Well.

I've Got The Public. I Don't Care About The Critics. I Did At One Time. I Don't Any More. I Did When I Needed Compliments. But If You Get A Lot Of Compliments, You Don't Need A Critic To Tell You, 'this Should Be Done Another Way.'

It Has Been Difficult To Hold Onto Many Paintings But I Have Retained A Few.
