In this movie they took them up in space. They're floating around and doing zero gravity stuff. Well, they had to do it all on wires. All the wires had to be painted black against this black background. If you didn't light it properly you could see the wires. Drove them crazy! ↗

I started doing cartoons when I was about 21. I never thought I would be a cartoonist. It happened behind my back. I was always a painter and drawer. ↗

I hardly need to abstract things, for each object is unreal enough already, so unreal that I can only make it real by means of painting. ↗

Painting constantly appeared to me as the one and only possible achievement. ↗
