Art is man's distinctly human way of fighting death.

Pop art is the inedible raised to the unspeakable.

The art schools... you get young kids doing the most vile and meaningless crap. I think the believe every bit of it.

Of course, I did lots of what would be called graphic design now, what used to be called commercial art.

There is, however, a change going on in the world. There's far more interest in drawing now than there has been in a long, long time. Schools are beginning to teach drawing again in a serious and meaningful way.

I think there is an element of nihilism about, but I don't think most artists feel their work is meaningless.
