Quote

My work looks like a comic book in form, but it's not a typical comic book in content. I write autobiographical stuff.

My work is a self-portrait of my mind, a prism of my convictions.

I feel like I have at least begun to make a contribution, but my most significant concern has to do with whether my actual art will be preserved for future generations or be erased.

I paint and I draw and I write and I do other things too, and recently some people at school were asking if I'd ever publish any of my work. But I almost feel like I would have to publish it under another name because there's a definition of me out there that feels kind of stuck in the moment when it was formed.

I think it's somebody else's job to decide what my image is.

So if I design it and then go away, it's still living somewhere and it still exists by itself without me.

In some ways it's taken me decades to come clean and make honest work - and still to this day, sometimes I find myself wanting to hide behind my work and deny the more biographical aspects.

I posed as an album-cover designer and photographer... That I today have some album covers and photographs to show for myself is a monument to the attention-to-detail of my disguise.
