I Have Always Said To Young Artists

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.

The Most Important Thing Is To Just Do It. If I Work At A Higher Level I Have Responsibility To Do Better Than What I've Done Before. Sometimes The Best Happens - Beyond Possibility. Just Do It. Can't Worry About It.

When I Paint, I Seriously Consider The Public Presence Of A Person - The Surface Facade. I Am Less Concerned With How People Look When They Wake Up Or How They Act At Home. A Person's Public Presence Reflects His Own Efforts At Image Development.

The Businessman Says 'if I Don't Do It First, Somebody Else Will.' The Artist Says 'if I Don't Do It First, Nobody Else Will.'

Some People Try To Paint In My Style. Some Simply Sell Pirated Copies Of My Work. Some Claim To Be My Publisher Or Agent Or Even My Exclusive Representative, When They Are Not.
