What were you thinking about as you created it?
I was thinking my shoes are too tight because I’m wearing generic socks.
Where did the inspiration come from?
From when I was a teenager and I was robbed for my skateboard by a Cholo in a Kroger parking lot outside Las Vegas in the middle of spring.
What does the piece mean to you?
It means I’m the only person I know.

"Personal Myths"
Untitled (2015)
What were you thinking about as you created it?

I remember I made this without inspiration.
What does the piece mean to you?
Not much.

What were you thinking about as you created it?
I was thinking how many douche bags go on boats. But I also love boats. I was thinking I’d love to have a boat called Malcolm XXX and sail it to Cuba.
Where did the inspiration come from?
From when I was a boat captain in the late 80s in Pensacola, Florida.
What does the piece mean to you?
It means this life is the greatest life we have. And then we all sail on.
