 You know, they say a picture is worth a thousand words, but a dot is worth a thousand pictures. It's like a focal point on everything you're trying to say. That's one of the big reasons why I tell my stories in dots. Because everything stops, right? At the end of every sentence, there's a dot. What would the sky be without the stars? You know, what would Morgan Freeman be without his freckles? What's in all things? In everything? Microns, orcs, at a quantum level. It's dots interacting, which means I'm nothing. And you're nothing. We're just the expression of dots. When you go back before the Big Bang, all of the universe was compressed into a dot. And I think that's what I'm doing. I'm playing God in some ways. Maybe I am God. Add words to what I'm doing, because I think they're so self-explanatory. And at the end of the day, all the work is about distillation. I tell great stories and odyssey. I just think the way I do is distilled down to the essence of that storytelling. At the end of the day, I'm painting the human condition. It was a long journey to find this particular style. I was always creative as a kid, but I grew up rurally. My parents saw that creative side as a flight of fancy. I was there to work and take over the farm myself someday. I kind of just left. The first place I found was City of Toronto. I was walking down the street, and a city bus rolled over my foot, sailed for 11 million. That's how I got the studio space. And that was the spark I needed to get started. I knew I needed to pioneer a new path for myself. And I think that's what finally had me land on just putting $1 on a piece of canvas. It's a process. It's a craft. It's like being an air-conditioning repairman. Every time you go back in, it's a slightly different challenge. There's some wires you didn't expect to be there. I don't know much about air conditioning. I don't know. It feels like it just came from a very deep and real place inside of me. You spend a lot of time getting an old canvas before you work on it. It's not like going on a first date. You're kind of eyeing her up and deciding if you want to go all the way. I have some experience. It takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of concentrated effort. There's some time where I'm spending months at a time doing research. There's so much to think about. Not just hue and color and the size and the placement, but those things. That's what I worry about. Then I just start doing pieces with very crude implements. Very basic stuff. Whatever I can get my hands on. In the end, they're all extensions of myself. Even I am just the tool of the muse. I'm really the tool. I'm a complete tool. In order to find the story that I want to tell, I need to tell all the other stories. I just need to get into kind of a meditative state. In that state, I just create it. Let it all flow out of me. Coming up with whole plans and then tearing those plans down starting again. Usually what's left is the truth. The dots don't have to be perfect. In fact, the imperfections are part of it. As long as people can tell it's a dot. The most difficult part is getting to that point where you know everything you need to say is in there. Because when you're focusing down the whole idea into the one dot, the empty space in the camera represents literally everything else in the whole world. So you gotta keep consider that when you're looking at it. There's your dog. That's Venezuela. Up here is Frogert. At the end of the day, it's about inspiring people. It's about finding a truth, finding something that I think needs to be said and saying it in a way that nobody else can say it. My advice, get in there and put in the hours. It's the only thing that gets you anywhere. Or, kind of just find a loophole, you know, if you can capitalize on it. From experience, it works pretty good. Some critics say that, you know, anyone can do this. I disagree, you know, I think I'm doing the same work as someone who makes landscapes or does something abstract, you know. I'm doing, you know, legally it's art. I know for sure. I want a lawsuit.
