"Cut away the bullshit, the swindle, the galleries, the cooler-than-shit historic myths of street/gallery/animation/low/brut/comic art backgrounds and you're left with image. Does the image work without a clapper-hand explaining why it rocks? No? Then fuck off, write a novel, and leave the art to someone else. Intellectualize and die."
