I try to do much of the necessary alteration on the black and white [cartoons] rather than leave it to be done on the paintings.
I'm working on a second cookbook and am working on my love story, 'Black Heels to Tractor Wheels.
When I showed ‘Black and the Red III’ in Malmö, Sweden, it was a continuum- a band- all around the galleryseeing this huge space in the gallery in Malmö, I just took a deep breath and I put the paper around in a single band.
