1
00:00:04,772 --> 00:00:09,522
[ hums and whistles]

2
00:00:09,522 --> 00:00:11,518
Come here

3
00:00:11,518 --> 00:00:13,542
[whistles]

4
00:00:13,573 --> 00:00:18,150
the enthusiasm when she comes is amazing [laughs]

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,361
"so is there a routine for you?"

6
00:00:23,361 --> 00:00:29,198
pretty much guaranteed that i'm going to go to the studio, at some point or several times in the day

7
00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:40,970
[whistles]

8
00:00:42,355 --> 00:00:45,346
this is going to be exciting, to have

9
00:00:45,346 --> 00:00:48,439
this new big surface

10
00:00:48,439 --> 00:00:53,738
[whistles]

11
00:00:53,738 --> 00:01:20,478
[sound of electric sander against canvas]

12
00:01:23,355 --> 00:01:27,717
Alright, lets see if I can get a sketch up on here

13
00:01:27,717 --> 00:01:28,998
[shakes spray can]

14
00:01:29,028 --> 00:01:31,725
[Whistles]

15
00:01:31,725 --> 00:01:35,208
[Sound of spray can]

16
00:01:35,208 --> 00:01:37,644
I learned a massive amount from graffitti

17
00:01:37,644 --> 00:01:40,293
that i've taken into the studio

18
00:01:40,293 --> 00:01:42,338
[whistles]

19
00:01:42,338 --> 00:01:43,675
[sound of spray paint]

20
00:01:43,675 --> 00:01:46,349
in terms of scale and how to make large marks

21
00:01:46,349 --> 00:01:51,679
and how to take a small drawing and make it large

22
00:01:51,679 --> 00:01:55,214
I mean, that's totally invaluable skillset

23
00:01:56,598 --> 00:01:57,796
not bad

24
00:01:58,334 --> 00:02:02,168
[sound of spray can]

25
00:02:02,199 --> 00:02:06,678
It's sort of like a boxing ring in here- its a very physical process

26
00:02:06,771 --> 00:02:08,088
[sound of spray paint]

27
00:02:08,088 --> 00:02:10,174
maybe I'm a little addicted to that.

28
00:02:10,174 --> 00:02:10,979
[sound of spray paint]

29
00:02:10,979 --> 00:02:15,369
It's a real part of my life- It's a real way for me to work things out

30
00:02:15,369 --> 00:02:18,751
outside of just the actual painting

31
00:02:18,751 --> 00:02:21,219
[sound of spray can]

32
00:02:33,145 --> 00:02:35,715
God damn it, come on.

33
00:02:39,485 --> 00:02:44,264
I might be one of the most impatient people in the world.

34
00:02:44,264 --> 00:02:51,704
Certainly, at times I can't control how the anxiety and impatience and aggressive energy comes out

35
00:02:52,874 --> 00:03:00,924
It's best when it happens in here, so I like to try and harness that cause no one can judge me, or..

36
00:03:12,003 --> 00:03:14,631
[sound of feet shuffling]

37
00:03:22,522 --> 00:03:27,348
I do have to trick myself into getting through parts of a painting

38
00:03:27,348 --> 00:03:31,912
[dog barking]

39
00:03:31,912 --> 00:03:37,718
come on, Fanny, come on

40
00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:44,312
If it gets to a point where I know a painting's going to be a painting, sometimes theres that real sense of chore

41
00:03:45,696 --> 00:03:49,396
so then i'll have to like drink a bottle of wine [laughs]

42
00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:51,180
or do something fun

43
00:03:51,180 --> 00:03:52,737
like walking around Greenpoint

44
00:03:54,399 --> 00:04:06,728
[sound of nails tapping rhythmically]

45
00:04:06,728 --> 00:04:20,274
[whistles]

46
00:04:20,274 --> 00:04:27,994
The best thing, and the most freeing feeling for me, is when im just moving the brush and making those strokes

47
00:04:27,994 --> 00:04:31,963
and am not standing back across the room looking at it

48
00:04:34,041 --> 00:04:36,574
it's when I'm completely lost in there.

49
00:04:36,574 --> 00:04:40,800
[sound of brush against canvas]

50
00:04:41,001 --> 00:04:46,920
There's that sense that I can express any kind of movement or action or noise or whatever i want in there

51
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:58,479
[sound of brush scraping against canvas]

52
00:04:58,525 --> 00:04:59,814
[sighs]

53
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:17,978
[sound of foot tapping lightly]

54
00:05:22,225 --> 00:05:23,506
I think that's it

55
00:05:23,506 --> 00:05:27,802
I think if I start painting I'm going to start making mistakes.

56
00:05:27,802 --> 00:05:28,394
"Yeah"

57
00:05:28,501 --> 00:05:30,049
Which is fine, but i dont want to.

58
00:05:30,125 --> 00:05:31,154
"Yeah"

59
00:05:34,031 --> 00:05:39,830
But the composition is working and thats exciting. I love when i get a first composition- that's pretty rare

60
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:43,265
A first take composition that i want to go with

61
00:05:45,018 --> 00:05:48,235
Now I said that and I see something I hate but..

62
00:05:48,235 --> 00:05:49,677
"What do you hate?"

63
00:05:49,677 --> 00:05:53,566
This shoulder shape here, it should come into like,

64
00:05:53,566 --> 00:05:54,841
it should drop off to like there

65
00:05:54,841 --> 00:05:56,580
[sound of pallet knife scraping against canvas]

66
00:05:58,642 --> 00:06:06,581
When I can make a drawing in 25 minutes and be really moved by it, thats what I want to be painting

67
00:06:09,873 --> 00:06:13,240
but I dont know how to do it yet, which is exciting

68
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,861
because if I already knew how to do it that'd be kind of depressing [laughs]

69
00:06:17,924 --> 00:06:21,311
[sings " I live my life on..."]

70
00:06:26,776 --> 00:06:34,360
[whistles lightly]
