It's Not The Act Of Arrogance To

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.

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.

I Can Easily Ignore My Detractors And Feel The People Who Respond Favorably.

I Had A Go At Changing History - Maybe Not All By Myself - I Fought At The Battle Of Normandy, I Slogged Through The Ardennes, And I Celebrated The Liberation Of Paris On The Streets With Beautiful French Girls Throwing Flowers At Me. I Said Good-bye To My First True Love And Discovered What I Really Wanted To Do With My Life.

It's Not The Act Of Arrogance To Draw, It's Humbling - You Must Use Your God-given Talent. And Of All The People I Sketch, In Most Cases I Feel I Have To Measure Up To The Subject.
