I Work From Fatigue To Fatigue At

My Best Efforts Were Some Modern Things That Looked Like Very Lousy Matisses. Thank God I Had The Sense To Realize They Were Lousy, And Leave Paris.

Right From The Beginning, I Always Strived To Capture Everything I Saw As Completely As Possible.

I Unconsciously Decided That, Even If It Wasn't An Ideal World, It Should Be. So I Painted Only The Ideal Aspects Of It - Pictures In Which There Are No Drunken Slatterns Or Self-centered Mothers... Only Foxy Grandpas Who Played Baseball With The Kids And Boys Who Fished From Logs And Got Up Circuses In The Backyard.

No Man With A Conscience Can Just Bat Out Illustrations. He's Got To Put All His Talent And Feeling Into Them!

If A Picture Wasn't Going Very Well, I'd Put A Puppy In It.
