Statement

I like to draw, and I like to see what people do, who also like to draw.

As far as "art" -- whatever that is -- is concerned, those are about the only two things
that I know for sure, right now.
I've torn down my old "Artist's Statement." My plan is to re-build it
from the ground up, only adding things to it that I'm as sure of, as I'm sure of the fact that I
like to draw.

So here's something else I'm sure of. Here's another good solid brick: if someone can render
the human figure with skill and economy and insight and imagination,
that's good work. That commands my respect.
And it makes no difference to me whether you find such work in a comic book, or in a portrait,
or in a magazine illustration, or in a gallery, or in a tattoo parlor.

I know that the gesture of a single hand, well drawn, moves me in a way
that no "installation" has, that I've ever seen or heard of.
(I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the odds are that the same is true for you.)
