My only criteria for art is that it should be 1) pretty and 2) not sweet. If I like it, it’s art.

That's really what should matter. I do what I like and if others like it enough to pay me for it, that's even better. However I'll never go out of my way to fit in with a bunch of pretentious liberal artists and art critics.

I think art can be evaluated subjectively and objectively, just as good books can.

I'm an artist, and I'll tell you one thing. Modern art is crap. 8-)
