My computer background is a black and white picture I took of the Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum in Brazil.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My background was in graphic design, but when I was doing it, it was all hand-drawn stuff, not computers.
I just recently did a film with Disney, and they put the drawings straight on the computer. And it's all painted on the computer now and not by hand anymore.
My process of working is that I don't create a picture, I find it.
You want to make the photograph work in every way possible. Doesn't matter where it is in the world.
I try to find the picture, not create it.
The first thing I do when I get up is I look out the window. I've been looking at the same image for six years. It's imprinted in my mind like an afterimage template.
I had always wanted to include images in a novel, and with my first book, 'Telex From Cuba,' I made an elaborate website that is basically all images.
My art has no object, no image, no point of focus.
What I do is create images, period.
I do not want to work to correspond to an image.
