Q: Is the original artwork for "The Picture of Everything" for sale?
A: The work is still in progress, so not right now.
Q: Are prints of The Picture of Everything still for sale?
Q: Where is "The Picture of Everything" currently on display?
A: The first half of the work is up on permanent display at Nova Express Cafe (426 N. Fairfax, across from Canters Deli, 323-658-7533).
Q: How many characters do you have in the picture?
A: I have no idea. Thousands.
Q: Is there anyone you DON'T have in there?
A: If you think you've found someone I missed, send me an e-mail. I'll either show you where the character is or add it to the list for the next level. Keep in mind that I don't have a lot of villains in this piece, since my friend Drew said he was going to draw a similar work with all the evil characters and places. he still hasn't done it, but I'm waiting.
Q: Do the sides of The Picture meet each other?
A: Yes. The sides meet, as do the top and bottom. I wanted to have an endless loop. The second Picture Of Everything will continue this loop, so some things along the sides will be re-drawn.
Q: Aren't you worried about getting sued?
A: Yes. But I'm relatively small potatoes. I'd like to sell the original work, but have never sold a large number of copies of the piece (out of 150 prints that were made, only about 60 of them have been sold). Even though I do use likenesses of recognized characters, I feel that they are not shown in a derogatory manner. Each character was drawn by me, and I hope in the context of the conceptual element of The Picture, that the respected copyright holders will let me continue my work without hassle.
Q: Is it true that you have 490 Pokemon drawn in The Picture?
A: Yes.
Q: What was the biggest inspiration for this picture?
A: Kurt Vonnegut Jr.'s "Bluebeard".
Q: Where's Waldo?
A: I really hate that question. Find him yourself.
