I love that works of art are printed so that anyone can buy them. The variety of what they put on little postcards astounds me.

I counterfeited Mark Kostabi's artworks. During the eighties, Mark didn't paint his own paintings. Instead, he had other artists painting them, and he just added his signature. So what I did was to use some of the same painters, and signed his name myself.

I got a signed document from Bullock's saying that they had such-and-such drawings on consignment. Of course, nobody bought any of them, but otherwise, I was a big success: I had my drawings on sale at Bullock's!

I used to do calligraphy, and I'm afraid that has lapsed, but I've always been interested in book printing.

I always do book signings with the same blue pen. That way, if I add a personalised message to a book I've already signed, it'll be in the same colour as my signature.

I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting.

I used to just sign papers and not pay no attention to what I'm signing.

I did calligraphy for the invitations for, like, Robin Thicke and Paula Patton's wedding.

But when I worked on a painting I would do it from a drawing but I would put certain things I was fairly sure I wanted in the painting, and then collage on the painting with printed dots or painted paper or something before I really committed it.

Some manufacturers illustrate their advertisements with abstract paintings. I would only do this if I wished to conceal from the reader what I was advertising.
