Notes July 2011

1.
Question: What is so Japanese about the circle?
Answer: Zen.

2.
I drew my headless Buddha before I saw the photo of the headless Christ by a Japanese photographer.

3.
Seeing is everything.
The truth is, my drawings do not heal.
My drawings are about seeing.

4.
I imagine myself falling in love with a beautiful lady, and she says to me, "You are dull, just like your drawings." (I took this line from Toni Takitani, the film based on Haruki Murakami's short story of the same title.)
