I am not brave enough to not pay my income tax and risk going to jail. But I can say rather freely what I want to say with my art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My work is my way of expressing myself without being arrested.
I'm free. I just do what I want, say what I want, say how I feel, and I don't try to hurt nobody. I just try to make sure that I don't compromise my art in any kind of way, and I think people respect that.
I am here on Earth to express myself, and the many media of art are my magic carpets that allow me the freedom to do so.
I don't labor over my drawings. I want to get freedom in the line.
I have no illusions about my art. I am what the public made me and, consequently, I am not likely to forget my debt to them.
I'm committed to the purity of my art form.
Always the danger for me in life and in art is not to be brave. I am not a naturally brave person. I have to will myself not to hole up in my house and read my life away.
I have no ethics when it comes to art. You just do what you can to make it as beautiful as you can.
Be careful that you do not write or paint anything that is not your own, that you don't know in your own soul.
I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.
