I work sometimes with dealers and sometimes people just come to me. A lot of the commissions, they just know me. They have seen something and they just approach me.

I've always said my biggest influence is my, just, the last work I did, the last piece I made.
Robert Barry

Art was something that I was really interested in, probably more so than writing or anything else.

I went to Our Lady of Mercy, parochial school and I started Fordham Prep, but that only lasted about a year and then I - to me, it was like going to some kind of concentration camp. I was not very happy. And I only went there because that's where my brother went, really.
