The dripping... well, if it happens, it happens; it does not take anything from the work. The dripping just proves that you were not trying to control the work, but the work was developing by itself and if it drips, it's a natural part in the evolution of the work. -Keith Haring

Red is one of the strongest colors, it's blood, it has a power with the eye. That's why traffic lights are red I guess, and stop signs as well... In fact I use red in all of my paintings.

See, when I paint, it is an experience that, at its best, is transcending reality.

Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic.
