"so i don't know if that answers your question, but it's what it made me think of"
It's pretty incredible to me, an artist who is so removed from the work being his own. It's not about, well i did this and this! It's like, look at how all these people are coming together through something that i love. He must really have a heart for people that he would work the way he does. I feel like he is the type of person that will grow old and have so many stories to tell, so many good stories and wise words.
I think because he just does what he wants.
"....we didn't go to class. but we were always making art."
But how does someone who just does whatever they want also happen to be such a charitable and selfless being?

This was a new idea to me several months ago but i have heard it quite often since arriving at Tyler. It is very different from how i looked at my work in highschool, but i understand the idea now. Before everything was very precious. It's not the same anymore.
It was cool that him and his friend could make all of those pieces and then just set them outside, nver knowing who would do what with them! I love the story about how they found one of the pieces. so awesome....
"Is he a victim because he is a suspect or is he a suspect because he is a victim?"
"Women are abusive to themselves so that they will be coveted, but are they coveted because they are abusive?"

oh and i really liked when somebody asked him how less outgoing people could make it in the art world and his response ran along the lines of, "Someone once told me a story: What makes a flower? Sun makes a flower. But what makes a flower? Dirt makes a flower. What makes a flower? A farmer. What makes a flower? Bread."
