The land created me. I'm wild and lonesome. Even as I travel the cities, I'm more at home in the vacant lots.

All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.

Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.

I paint mostly from real life. It has to start with that. Real people, real street scenes, behind the curtain scenes, live models, paintings, photographs, staged setups, architecture, grids, graphic design. Whatever it takes to make it work.
