“I'm really into California art from the '60s. I like a lot of Bay Area...” — Barry McGee Quote

I'm really into California art from the '60s. I like a lot of Bay Area artists, like Nathan Oliveira and Bruce Conner.

I read in a weird way. It comes in waves, and then I start, like, five different books at once. It takes me six months to a year to finish them all, since I read mostly on planes.

I have tons of art books. I have them all over the place. They are in my car, in my bag, and in my studio. There are books around me all the time.

Galleries are easier to steal from than the Apple Store, maybe.

I like the idea that you can paint something outdoors, and anyone can see it. It's open to anyone, and people have to deal with it. In the gallery, it's the same 150 people on the San Francisco art scene. There's a dynamic on the street that's definitely more interesting.

Politically speaking, Miami-Dade was once a Republican stronghold, thanks in large part to older Cuban voters who became more politically influential following the Bay of Pigs invasion. In contrast, Democrats used to rely on votes in North Florida and the Space Coast in an era of much softer partisanship.

I really do respect and appreciate all the Bay Area artists and all the love they always give me.

Emerald Bay is absolutely beautiful and a definite must see.

I listen to mostly just rap music from the Bay, to be honest.

I'm a Bay Area kid, born and bred.
