Who first influenced you artistically?
My cousin Vivian Petree who was my babysitter and gave me my first instruction in how to make the coloring book characters have "real" looking hair (and then encouraged me to not use coloring books).

What first attracted you to the Internet?
It's potential for disseminating ideas to an incredibly large audience.

Does the Internet allow you to show your work as you would like: How could it be improved to suit you?
Not really. I'm not sure it could be improved for my work as it is very subtle and it is hard to pick the subtletly up on the screen (it is also a problem for me with other forms of photographic reproduction such as slides).

What kind of artwork do you expect to be doing in the next 12 months or so?
The same. Mostly conceptual work, although this next body is actually composed of "paintings" that might be more suited to the Net.

Have you found other artists on the Internet like yourself?
I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Is there anything about the way you produce your work that you believe to be unique or unusual?
Bad question.

What style of art really makes you angry?
Art that is considered unique or unusual.

Do you ever expect to get rich/richer out of art?
No.

Was art your first love or do you have another passion?
I have lots of passions and art is sometimes my first hate.

 

Who do you feel has influenced art most this century?
Pablo Picasso.

 

Which medium do you feel is the current spokesman of the arts?
Bad question. (see below)

 

What would you like to be better at, and why?
Acting. Just about the only medium that still (currently) can get at a mass audience and (possibly) have an effect/affect on thinking.
