You have to make thousands and thousands of drawings before an illustration is perfected.

My goal is to make fine art, and fine art comes from the soul. If you have virtuosity and facility, you can take and create something of significance.

I'm also interested in creating a lasting legacy for collectors because bronze will last for thousands of years so I'm not really selling the art to this particular collector but it is being passed on.

There is a connection between me and the collectors, and as admirers of the work they tell me about the differences the pieces are able to make in their lives on a daily basis.

A storyteller, a displaced poet, will absorb reading differently.

Comedy is surprises, so if you're intending to make somebody laugh and they don't laugh, that's funny.
