"I was strongly influenced by the L.A. artists of the early eighties. I had a certain desire and wish and a want to paint.

"Yes, these wall of drawings over here, they definitely an inner exploration. They come from they're automatic drawings. They all come from phone calls. My wife, Keely, bought these pads that sit by the phone with her initials, my initials. And soon as I'm on a phone call or I'm doing business and I have a a morning of calls, the pad is there and the drawings just happen. They just show themselves so they have a mystery."

"They're biographical and the intention. You know, I tried to write the memoirs and it's so boring. It's just having to dig into the head and the heart and and the memory of life. And so these paintings definitely have a history of who I was, where I was when I was. And they have an evolution from the kind of crude gesture back in '87, but to a stylized form now."
