The poster art over the years, art with social critique in it, has always been trying to make that point - that we are larger than they are.

I find it very difficult to be funny, it's much easier to do tragedy than it is to do comedy.

When I was in my early twenties I was doing tenant organizing - rent strikes, specifically - in my building. I think that was how I started doing poster art. It was something very concrete.

I think for an artist there are so many things to make pictures of now, that everyone else may be suffering, but at least artists will just be stimulated by it all.

Art grabs people by their eyeballs, it seduces them ... art is a means to an end rather than simply an end in itself.

Illustrators are usually illustrating something big or commercial if not outright advertising. It's a form of prostitution, but that's cool because we don't have any moral hang-up about it.

I don't even believe in magic, or ghosts or anything like that, and yet in a city like New York, on the subway, I definitely see ghosts and art seems to have some magical properties.

Whether it's a street poster on a brick wall, a magazine cover on a newsstand, or animation on a movie screen - art is an effective means of communicating with large numbers of people.

I think so much of art is unconscious anyway, the artist doesn't know the real reason they're doing it. They're just kind of going along with it intuitively.

Art is one of the few ways we have of dealing with things that frighten or anger us.

Art is one of the few places where you can put it in a constructive way where it won't burn you up inside or hurt anyone.

Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all.

It begins in the heart...and it hurts when it's true.It only hurts because it's true.

A wise master teaches.

Don't take purposeless people as your leaders. Their life is like an empty book with a nice cover paper and you have attempted to buy it. Of which use will it be to you for you to read blank pages.

Natives of the Florida Keys often refer to themselves as Conchs, and for good reason: They have been drinking.

You possess only whatever will not be lost in a ship wreck.

Just as appetite comes by eating, so work brings inspiration, if inspiration is not discernible at the beginning.

History is our guide, and without a knowledge of history, we are lost!

I question every move. I'm constantly second-guessing myself.
