copy noticing photograph seeing street subtle thinking
I'll see a photograph of a character and try to copy them on to my face. I think I'm really observant, and thinking how a person is put together, seeing them on the street and noticing subtle things about them that make them who they are.
house last pipes
I had to redo my last house after the pipes burst, and something was lost in the renovation. The soul of the old space was compromised.
character thinking people
I think I always resented the fact that people thought I was trying to entertain them with my multifaceted, chameleonlike character changes. Although I liked doing that, I wasn't out to fool people and say 'Guess which one is me.'
art ideas use
I was meticulously copying other art and then I realized I could just use a camera and put my time into an idea instead.
art interest traditional
I didn't have any interest in traditional art.
