“To a nonpainter, oil paint is uninteresting and faintly unpleasant. To a painter, it is the life's blood: a substance so utterly entrancing, infuriating, and ravishingly beautiful that it makes it worthwhile to go back into the studio every morning, year after year, for an entire lifetime.” YearsBeautifulMorningBloodLifetimePaintStudiosOilPainterSubstanceWorthwhileEvery MorningInfuriating Book:What Painting Is Source: What Painting Is

“I remember on a Friday afternoon getting a phone call from Grant Simmons saying, "Mike," we got to be pretty good friends; "Mike, the Sheriff is closing us down on Monday. If you'd like to drive into the studio tomorrow morning, you can have anything you want." So rather than go in and take home piles and piles of cels of Spider-Man what did I take home? Two pages of original art that got sent out to the west coast. Now of course if I'd have taken all the rest of that stuff home I could probably have retired a lot earlier.” IfsMenWantArtTwoHomeRememberCoursesStuffMorningTakenTomorrowPagesOriginalsWestPhonesStudiosGrantsAfternoonGood FriendCoastMondayFridaySpidersMikeRetiredClosingPhone CallsSpider ManWest CoastSheriffsTomorrow MorningOriginal ArtFriday Afternoon Author:Mike Royer

“I left the studio at 5:30 in the morning. It's an incredible mind exercise. You have to, obviously, have stamina, but you really feel like you're kind of feeding your mind.

It feels good to be there in the morning before the day starts to mess with you - I don't mean in a negative way, but before I'd speak to a lot of people or get into anything, I'd go in there and just see what I felt.

“While making "Possessed", I wept each morning on my drive to the studio, and I wept all the way back home. I found it impossible to sleep at night, so I'd lie in bed contemplating the future.

“In 1916, when Johnny Heartfield and I invented photomontage in my studio at the south end of the town at five o'clock one May morning, we had no idea of the immense possibilities, or of the thorny but successful career, that awaited the new invention. On a piece of cardboard we pasted a mishmash of advertisements for hernia belts, student song books and dog food, labels from schnaps and wine bottles, and photographs from picture papers, cut up at will in such a way as to say, in pictures, what would have been banned by the censors if we had said it in words.” IfsWayMayHas BeensSaidBookIdeasEndsSongCareersMorningSuccessfulFivePiecesCuttingDogPossibilityStudentsPaperTownsWineSouthPhotographStudiosInventionLabelsNo IdeaClockBottlesImmensePapersBeltsAdvertisementsBannedSuccessful CareerNew InventionsDog FoodHerniasPaper Cuts Author:George Grosz
