"No good to paint in the head - what happens is what happens when you put the paint down - you can only hope that you are alert - ready - to see. What joy itÂ is for paint to become a thing - a being. Believe in this miracle - it is your only hope. To will this transformation is not possible. Only aÂ slow maturation can prepare the hand and eye to become quicker than ever. Ideas about art don't matter. They collapse anyway in front of the painting."

But I will tell the artist who comes with a bunch of drawings of Bugs Bunny to go back and learn how to draw the human body. An artist who knows that can learn how to draw ANYTHING, including Bugs Bunny.”

“The fellow who wrote the post about sharing a bear suit with a girl at a party saw my illustration and emailed me, which was kind of thrilling. He sent a photo taken on the night, and that was a dream-like experience... but even though I've seen the "real" bear suit, my image of it feels real to me, and his photo the interpretation.”
