The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally for other arts: figuratively - because without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins.
Frank Zappa
Information doesn't kill you.
Frank Zappa
I'm not black, but there's a whole lot of times I wish I could say I'm not white.
