"I feel that my main responsibility, as an artist, is to be true to myself and to make images that are honest and involve my thoughts completely without pretense or segmentation.  I seek to tell my stories as I can only do, not to make images in an attempt to please others or to garner favors.  I want to leave this world knowing that in my lifetime, I didn’t leave anything on the table or regret any creative decision I ever made.  As for the viewers and lovers of art, I want you to know that it is my attempt to make a connection, however large or small that may be, that drives me to keep making more and more art."
