  1. The 1st question just kills me ( as an artist you have the freedom of doing whatever you gotta do in that canvas all the time even when someone ask you to paint or draw a particular request) you the artist ., your way of seen anything that goes on the canvas is your freedom of expression and nobody also !!!!!!! End of the story!!!!

  2. He said something like "You're asking me strange questions, like 'Are you glad you have feet, or do you wish you didn't have feet?' Or 'How would live if you didn't have a head? ' They're very strange." Hahaha.

  3. As a psychologist , I can tell you that this boy had so many problems on so many levels , drugs didn't help obviously, but treatment would.. Unfortunately , the art world fears sanity as a some sort of killer of inspiration and imagination..

  4. This is the weirdest interview I've ever seen…He is utterly depressed, unable to truly engage, and she seems to have so little insight or recognition of that fact! It's a completely stilted exchange!

  5. The interviewer approached him with questions you'd ask an alien at first contact. All that was missing was the proverbial poking with a stick from a distance to see how 'it' would react.
    Poor Jean. lol This was a lesson on how not to interview people.
