0:00:04.772,0:00:09.522
[hums and whistles]

0:00:09.522,0:00:11.518
Come here

0:00:11.518,0:00:13.542
[whistles]

0:00:13.573,0:00:18.150
The enthusiasm when she comes is amazing [laughs]

0:00:20.120,0:00:23.361
[OFF-SCREEN INTERVIEWER] "So is there a routine for you?"

0:00:23.361,0:00:29.198
Pretty much guaranteed that i'm going to go to the studio, at some point or several times in the day

0:00:31.890,0:00:40.970
[whistles]

0:00:42.355,0:00:45.346
This is going to be exciting, to have--

0:00:45.346,0:00:48.439
This new big surface.

0:00:48.439,0:00:51.107
[whistles]

0:00:52.008,0:00:56.178
"Eddie Martinez Whistles While He Works"

0:00:56.632,0:01:01.183
[sound of electric sander against canvas]

0:01:01.931,0:01:05.948
Eddie Martinez--Artist

0:01:10.838,0:01:13.639
Franny--French Bulldog

0:01:23.442,0:01:27.717
Alright, let's see if I can't get a little sketch up on here.

0:01:27.717,0:01:28.998
[shakes spray can]

0:01:29.028,0:01:31.725
[Whistles]

0:01:31.725,0:01:35.208
[Sound of spray can]

0:01:35.208,0:01:37.644
I learned a massive amount from graffitti

0:01:37.644,0:01:40.293
that I've taken into the studio,

0:01:40.293,0:01:42.338
[whistles]

0:01:42.338,0:01:43.675
[sound of spray paint]

0:01:43.675,0:01:46.349
in terms of scale and how to make large marks

0:01:46.349,0:01:51.679
and how to take a small drawing and make it large.

0:01:51.679,0:01:55.214
I mean, that's totally invaluable, the skill set.

0:01:56.598,0:01:57.796
Not bad.

0:01:58.334,0:02:02.168
[sound of spray can]

0:02:02.199,0:02:06.678
It's sort of like a boxing ring in here--it's a very physical process.

0:02:06.771,0:02:08.088
[sound of spray paint]

0:02:08.088,0:02:10.174
Maybe I'm a little addicted to that.

0:02:10.174,0:02:10.979
[sound of spray paint]

0:02:10.979,0:02:15.369
It's a real part of my life--it's a real way for me to work things out,

0:02:15.369,0:02:18.751
outside of just the actual painting.

0:02:18.751,0:02:21.219
[sound of spray can]

0:02:33.145,0:02:35.715
God damn it, come on.

0:02:39.485,0:02:44.264
I might be one of the most impatient people in the world.

0:02:44.264,0:02:51.704
Certainly, at times I can't control how the anxiety and impatience and aggressive energy comes out.

0:02:52.874,0:03:00.924
It's best when it happens in here, so I like to try and harness that cause no one can judge me, or...

0:03:12.003,0:03:14.631
[sound of feet shuffling]

0:03:22.522,0:03:27.348
I do have to trick myself into getting through parts of a painting.

0:03:27.348,0:03:31.912
[dog barking]

0:03:31.912,0:03:37.718
Come on, Fanny, come on.

0:03:37.718,0:03:44.312
If it gets to a point where I know a painting's going to be a painting, sometimes there's that real sense of chore,

0:03:45.696,0:03:49.396
So then i'll have to, like, drink a bottle of wine [laughs]

0:03:49.396,0:03:51.180
Or do something fun,

0:03:51.180,0:03:52.737
Like walking around Greenpoint.

0:03:54.399,0:04:06.728
[sound of tapping rhythmically]

0:04:06.728,0:04:20.274
[whistles]

0:04:20.274,0:04:27.994
The best thing, and the most freeing feeling for me, is when I'm just moving the brush and making those strokes

0:04:27.994,0:04:31.963
and am not standing back across the room looking at it.

0:04:34.041,0:04:36.574
it's when I'm completely lost in there.

0:04:36.574,0:04:40.800
[sound of brush against canvas]

0:04:41.001,0:04:46.920
There's that sense that I can express any kind of movement or action or noise or whatever i want in there.

0:04:46.920,0:04:58.479
[sound of brush scraping against canvas]

0:04:58.525,0:04:59.814
[sighs]

0:05:08.308,0:05:17.978
[sound of foot tapping lightly]

0:05:22.225,0:05:23.506
I think that's it.

0:05:23.506,0:05:27.802
I think if I start painting I'm going to start making mistakes.

0:05:27.802,0:05:28.394
"Yeah"

0:05:28.501,0:05:30.049
Which is fine, but i dont want to.

0:05:30.125,0:05:31.154
"Yeah"

0:05:34.031,0:05:39.830
But the composition is working and that's exciting. I love when i get a first composition. That's pretty rare--

0:05:39.830,0:05:43.265
A first take composition that i want to go with.

0:05:45.018,0:05:48.235
Now I said that and I see something I hate but...

0:05:48.235,0:05:49.677
"What do you hate?"

0:05:49.677,0:05:53.566
This shoulder shape here, it should come into like,

0:05:53.566,0:05:54.841
it should drop off, like, there.

0:05:54.841,0:05:56.580
[sound of pallet knife scraping against canvas]

0:05:58.642,0:06:06.581
When I can make a drawing in 25 minutes and be really moved by it, that's what I want to be painting.

0:06:09.873,0:06:13.240
But I dont know how to do it yet, which is exciting,

0:06:13.240,0:06:17.861
Because if I already knew how to do it, that'd be kind of depressing [laughs]

0:06:17.924,0:06:21.311
[sings "I live my life on..."]

0:06:26.776,0:06:34.360
[whistles lightly]
