Philosophy: this category is a catch-all, and its articles and videos focus on my art theories as well as on my philosophies about life.

Not painting my vagina / Ne pas peindre mon vagin

Crime Against Nature may be paintings of animals, but it’s really all about me…and probably you too.  Même si les tableaux du Crime contre la nature sont tous des images d’animaux, ma nouvelle série est avant tout un exploration de ma vie…et de la vôtre aussi sans doute.

Smallness and the artist’s struggle for immortality

Art-making is less about making a lasting mark and more about celebrating the absurdity of existence.

Austin Kleon: creativity, copyright, and superstition

Austin Kleon may be an advocate for creativity, but he also has a strange relationship with copyright, as this snippet of the “Image Use and Copyright” page of his site proves.

Bigger, better / La plus grande, la meilleure

I don’t actually believe that bigger is better, but, where the female of a species is concerned, I’d like to think it’s true.  Je ne crois pas que plus grand est toujours mieux, mais, où la femelle d’une espèce est concernée, j’aimerai y croire.

Posséder la culture

Par moments, nous pouvons apprécier l’idée de la propriété intellectuelle, mais la plupart du temps nous nous approprions nos bouts préférés de culture sans trop se soucier du droit d’auteur, et cette représentation du Petit Prince sur une tombe en est la preuve.

Pity versus understanding

There’s a difference between feeling sorry for someone and taking the time to listen to what another person is going through.  Where infertility is concerned, we could do with less of the former and more of the latter.

Queer

As a teenager, I had a lot of people telling me I was gay.

When artists forget who they are

A new law in France hampers photography and reflects a very common misconception among artists about art and technology.

Following paintings: Gabe

This is my fourth in a series of videos of chats I have with subjects of my paintings, and it happens to be a conversation with the only curator who has ever played an important role in forming my work, Gabe Flores.

I don’t do drugs.

In which I talk about what illegal substances, religion, and art have in common.
