I just got really into this one girl on Instagram and had her paint little pineapples on my nails during shooting.
I am obsessed with the painter Jonas Wood, but I don't think I'll ever be able to afford one of his paintings. He's an L.A.-based painter; his stuff is incredible.
I didn't go to school for illustration. I did larger pieces, mostly drawings and paintings, and minored in video, but when I moved to N.Y.C., I didn't have a studio space anymore and downsized to my desk and started illustrating. I started a greeting card company and sold cards all over the city.
I really want to continue doing art. I would love to go back to doing paintings one day.
I used to paint a lot of oil and now I paint more mixed-media stuff.
A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.
A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting.
Sculpture is something you bump into when you back up to look at a painting.
If some student came up and wanted to know where to study painting, you'd want to suggest someplace, but there's no place. I wouldn't know where to send a student to study.
Now almost every artist outside of New York is connected with some school or some museum school, and even in New York the majority are. That's an interesting fact when you take the idea of making money, making a living selling paintings. Only a dozen or two painters do that.
