Painting Stems From A Sense Of Organisation,

I'm Never Drawing The Object Itself; I'm Only Drawing A Depiction Of The Object - A Kind Of Crystallized Symbol Of It.

We Like To Think Of Industrialization As Being Despicable. I Don't Really Know What To Make Of It. There’s Something Terribly Brittle About It. I Suppose I Would Still Prefer To Sit Under A Tree With A Picnic Basket Rather Than Under A Gas Pump, But Signs And Comic Strips Are Interesting As Subject Matter. There Are Certain Things That Are Usable, Forceful, And Vital About Commercial Art. We're Using Those Things – But We're Not Really Advocating Stupidity, International Teenagerism, And Terrorism.

My Work Sanitizes It (emotion) But It Is Also Symbolic Of Commercial Art Sanitizing Human Feelings. I Think It Can Be Read That Way.... People Mistake The Character Of Line For The Character Of Art. But It's Really The Position Of Line That's Important, Or The Position Of Anything, Any Contrast, Not The Character Of It.

I Dont Have Big Anxieties. I Wish I Did. Id Be Much More Interesting.

Yes, You Know Sometimes, We Started Out Thinking Out How Strange Our Painting Was Next To Normal Painting, Which Was Anything Expressionist. You Forget That This Has Been Thirty Five Years Now And People Don't Look At It As If It Were Some Kind Of Oddity.
