I don't see them as comic books. I look at them and I see great arcs, pinks against reds; I start building with the stuff and pretty soon a design starts to happen. |
One of the reasons I like tape is because it's part of pop culture and it's readily available. For me, to be able to go any store and pick up a roll of Scotch tape and a newspaper means that I can make art for the rest of the day. It's a compact studio. |
The museum was interested in me for a long time because I use Archie comics in my art. |
You don't think of tape as a fine art supply. And Archie is iconic. Working with something as iconic as Archie – and something as discarded as Archie-I can make something cool and unique. |
