The Moment You Cheat For

Until I Saw My Drawings Replayed On The Ipad, I'd Never Seen Myself Draw. Someone Watching Me Would Be Concentrating On The Exact Moment, But I'd Always Be Thinking A Little Bit Ahead. That's Especially So In A Drawing Where You Are Limiting Yourself, A Line Drawing For Example. When You Are Doing Them You Are Very Tense, Because You Have To Reduce Everything To Such Simple Terms.

I Haven't Stopped Painting Or Drawing - I've Just Added Another Medium.

Perspective Is A Law Of Optics... The Chinese Did Not Have A System Like It. Indeed, It Is Said They Rejected The Idea Of The Vanishing Point In The Eleventh Century, Because It Meant The Viewer Was Not There, Indeed, Had No Movement, Therefore Was Not Alive.

I Can Often Tell When Drawings Are Done From Photographs, Because You Can Tell What They Miss Out, What The Camera Misses Out: Usually Weight And Volume - There's A Flatness To Them.

Future Art That Is Based On Appearances Won't Look Like The Art That's Gone Before. Even Revivals Of A Period Are Not The Same.
