I Keep The Pornographic Stuff In A

Travel Is Like A Tonic To Me. It's More Than Just Getting Away From The Studio For A Brief Rest. I Need It To Recharge My Batteries.

I Used To Sit In The Studio With A Copy Of The (saturday Evening) Post Laid Across My Knees ... And Then I'd Conjure Up A Picture Of Myself As A Famous Illustrator And Gloat Over It, Putting Myself In Various Happy Situations, Surrounded By Admiring Females, Deferred To By Office Flunkies At The Magazines, Wined And Dined By The Editor.

The Remarks About My Reaching The Age Of Social Security And Coming To The End Of The Road, They Jolted Me. And That Was Good. Because I Sure As Hell Had No Intention Of Just Sitting Around For The Rest Of My Life. So I'd Whip Out The Paints And Really Go To It.

I Keep The Pornographic Stuff In A Bus Station Locker.

Some Folks Think I Painted Lincoln From Life, But I Haven't Been Around That Long. Not Quite.
