better and better.

I’m
influenced by Nerd’s Rope, Weenalopes, my Family, Kittymen, the swatch cards at
Home Depot, Musik, OldEarfs that have no idea that they have steez, my cycloptic
perspective, the Wonderfull Wide World of Ween!!!!

What
other artists do you most admire?


I admire any artist
that does something that id never produce. I like to be like WOW!, that is so
amazing, how did they think of that????. I admire Salvador Dali probably the
most. Everything he did, paintings, drawings, sculptures, movies, were just so
top notch and something only his mind could produce. I admire all the artists
back in the old skool days. They had to make there own paint for Christ’s sake
and only had candle light. All the old religious paintings are just
incredible.

How would you describe your art to someone
who could not see it?


That’s something I have not been
able to do. Just the other day I was at Circle K and I had paint all over my
pants and these two bums were asking what kind of paintings I did. “uhhhhhhhh, I
don’t know”....I cant seem to talk about my werk. Don’t know why????

What other talent would most like to have?

/>I wish I was gifted playing musical instruments. I can make cuts on
the computer but theres something about raw musik. Its just the craziest thing
when you can take a group of people and just have them freestyle there shit and
its like there brain waves combine to make magic.

What
do you fear the most?


Failure. Failure as a father, a
lover, an artist. All my life ive been told your going to be this your going to
be that, but what if nothing ever becomes. I guess its more a fear of not being
self satisfied. Ive been so lucky that ive been able to do and see so much but I
always want to do more….

What is your greatest
ambition?


I want my art to be as household as Andy
Warhol’s. Even if you don’t like art you still know at least one piece hes done.
I know it’s a rather far fetched feat but fuk it, you’ve gotta strive for
something.
