Most artists like to think of themselves as rugged individualists, as independent characters.

There's a certain je ne sais quoi that Americans have in spades - a we-can-do-anything spirit that makes so many things possible for all of us. We're rugged individualists, aspirational in nature, and we like to think for ourselves.

When I was young I was called a rugged individualist. When I was in my fifties I was considered eccentric. Here I am doing and saying the same things I did then and I'm labeled senile.

Everything is an original piece for the show. We have a lot of artists who haven't shown in Milwaukee before.

If you've never been to the Paper Boat, we have over 100 artists' work on sale in the store.

Most artists think they're frauds anyway.
