"Every wall that I'm offered I do a Google Street View walk around the area to try and see the building from every angle to see the sort of colors there are there." 2024 video interview (3m21s) https://youtu.be/TAtvfkfnXKQ?si=wpR-uZOZavKll6Xl

"It wasn't until I started painting six or seven days a week that I saw my capabilities become a lot greater. .... Without painting as much as I did, I wouldn't be able to do what I'm trying to achieve right now. I guess my biggest advice would be to paint as much as you can. Don't get caught up on this social media thing. Just ignore that stuff. Just have fun with it, but work harder."
