Drawing is something that came naturally to me as a small child. I have always been attracted by the precision and technical aspect of it. To me there is something very intimate and sensuous about drawing. Sometimes I get so involved in the drawing process that I feel a sense of timelessness. When I am really absorbed I can literally feel the subject's countours, shape and texture as I am drawing it.

"Free your mind!"

"The easiest person in the world to fool is yourself."

"Some people live in mental fishbowls never realizing that there is an ocean out there."

"I really think that to draw women properly a man must be very much in touch with his inner-woman."

"Luck is preparation and opportunity."
