About Me


If a creator is given total creative freedom, he would tend to do nothing at all. The greatest danger for an artist is total freedom….to be able to wait for inspiration.
•••••
Psychologically the artist is an offender. He has a childish need to offend. And to be able to offend, you need parents, a headmaster, a high-priest, the police…
-Fellini
If you think about it enough to have a really articulate answer, you're not doing it right. That's how I feel about art. If your thought process could take you to knowing exactly what you're doing and why, there would be no point in making the art.
-Daniel Clowes
