2 people hate ART

[selenascaglione]

dang' love that!

[DrawingsByEhvh]

He is just amazing. :O I hope that when I'm older I will get half as good. That just made my portraits look worse than garbage even for my age..

[aquamoon91]

lol they're awesome

[bagoona]

love Chuck Close but surprised he has the public in mind when painting.

[hueythebutt]

@bagoona how is that in any way at all a surprise?

[nooninho]

for a man in a wheelchair painting large heads which require assistants and hydraulic lifts, i would think audience plays a factor. if he were painting merely for himself I think they might be more easil size.

[murphyanne]

@nooninho in another interview, he has said something along the lines of "the larger a painting is, the longer it takes to walk by it."

so i think you're at least partly right

[fluffo75]

can you put more of this up? any other artist guests?

[manolis29]

i enjoyed very much these extracts. it's quite refreshing to see interesting people with interesting things to say. any more interviews with artists? thanks for uploading.
