Everybody draws when they are little.

I grew up in Pennsylvania in a small town. Real small, like one high school and one movie theater. Well, there was a state college there, that was the only good thing about it.

Good and Evil are very hard to explain or understand. I'm sure that evil exists, but it is hard to isolate. Good and evil are intertwined and impossible to separate. They are not completely opposites and in fact are often one and the same.

Nothing is important... so everything is important.
Keith Haring
Image
I think as much as possible, an artist, if he has any kind of social or political concern, has to…expose as much as possible what he sees so that some people think about things that they don’t normally think about… [Art] should be something that liberates the soul, provokes the imagination and encourages people to go further.

Children know something that most people have forgotten.
Keith Haring
Image
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, its a natural part in the evolution of the work.

Whatever you do, the only secret is to believe in it and satisfy yourself. Don't do it for anyone else.
Keith Haring
Image
I'd like to pretend that I've never seen anything, never read anything, never heard anything... and then make something.
