"Art
is a language older than literature, cinema, jazz, or ballet. It
is a theatre that takes place at a spotlit corner in the twilight
horizon of the skull. Art, as I have seen and felt it,
reflects existence and spirit, as those things themselves
are filtered through the central nervous system. Man
began painting on the walls of his cave with the mud on his
fingers and the blood of his dinner. I began drawing
on brown paper bags from the grocer, with which the dinner
was wrapped. Purple crayon was the gateway to the inner
world, and I floated above many an entombed continent on that
world, landing thus far, on only a few."
"After
fighting my way through art college and eating modernism three
times a day, I found myself illustrating comic books and magazines
for a living. This led to my two credos in philosophy;
“The media is the gallery of the present”, and,
“I’d rather not be a two-headed creature” (a
statement about being an illustrator vs a fine artist, let’s
forge a fusion!!) To date, my work has been published
world-wide up to 300 times, and I have taught/lectured nationwide. My
work has always been, and remains today, about the inner life
being presented to the outer world. I am from a small,
country town, where self expression and introspection were
seen as crimes against nature. Art, in all it’s
forms and media, became and remains the promethean centerpiece
of my existence."
