You Know, As You Compose

My Use Of Evenly Repeated Dots And Diagonal Lines And Uninflected Color Areas Suggest That My Work Is Right Where It Is, Right On The Canvas, Definitely Not A Window Into The World.

Usually I Begin Things Through A Drawing, So A Lot Of Things Are Worked Out In The Drawing. But Even Then, I Still Allow For And Want To Make Changes. I Kind Of Do The Drawing With The Painting In Mind, But It's Very Hard To Guess At A Size Or A Color And The Colors Around It And What It Will Really Look Like. It's Only A Guess At The Beginning, And Then I Try To Refine It.

The Big Tradition, I Think, Is Unity. And I Have That In Mind; And With That, You Know, You Could Break All The Traditions- All The Other So-called Rules, Because They Are Stylistic.. And Most Are Not True. As Long As The Marks Are Related To One Another, There Is Unity. Unity In The Work Itself Depends On Unity Of The Artist's Vision.

Im Not Really Sure What Social Message My Art Carries, If Any. And I Dont Really Want It To Carry One. Im Not Interested In The Subject Matter To Try To Teach Society Anything, Or To Try To Better Our World In Any Way.

All My Art Is In Some Way About Other Art, Even If The Other Art Is Cartoons.
