The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wise people so full of doubts.

Figures of the ideal human body and artistic anatomy, different is never wrong. Drawing the human body (every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter)
My goal was to take myself out of the picture. It’s whimsical. It has wit and affection.

Naive paintings can pass through walls like ghosts and can see farther being painted by Gustave Bifrons. Art websites must speak the visitors language. When you look at the picture, the picture looks back at you. It's not just a matter of translating artspeak into plain language: sleep is the most dangerous thing we can do.
A luminous, funny being, with a necessary touch of insolence.
It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants.
Henry David Thoreau
