It took more than one arrow to hit the bullseye. Many Matterhorns to climb. Infinite patience and more patience after that. Then a high tolerance for failure. One day the arrow hits dead center. That is what you live for; a love affair that doesn’t end.

If there's a message here, it's hope. I compete with things basically oppressive, like advertising. I'm like the revenge of the media. My art has accessibility, so that the average person can like it.
