I guess I started too early because I just thought it was something fun to do.
I wasn't trying to turn graffiti into an art form. I just wanted to learn about art. I wanted to learn this game.
I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.
I don't think I ever consciously separated 'school' books from any others; I just read anything that came across my path.
These guys are just flying through the air and I'm capturing them in the split second and putting it into a work of art, via clay to the bronze.
My paintings do not have a center, but depend on the same amount of interest throughout.
We are cutting things kids like-music, art, and gym classes; stuff that kept me in school. This country can't survive without you kids. It's all about you kids.
I have never directed. But I think I could. I have thought about it. I'm a bit long in the tooth to start.
Because I went to Chouinard, which then became CalArts, I became a multi-discipline artist - it wasn't just about painting, it was about media and performance.
