ERIC POWELL BIO

Eric Powell"Uh... about my art. My art's all about the self expression. It’s all about, ya know, conveying the internal monologue and exploring, ya know, the intangibles. All these art guys in their fancy art magazines and their galleries with their tooth paste paintings and whatever they’re doing... they want to look down on people like me. Because they all look at what I do and they’re like, that ain’t nothing. And, buddy, I been all over the world. I’m zeitgeist everywhere. And, uh, I been places. I know people. I been to France. I been to Orlando Florida. I been, I been around. Ya know, and, uh, I been to France."

-Eric Powell
