BF: This painting caused a scandal when it was first exhibited, Why was that?
MD: Critics, they are clueless. They say "That don't look like nothing",
I say, " I paint it as it happening, but the damn hedgehog won't sit still!"
Pah.
BF:So you didn't set out to create the illusion of movement?
MD: No, I was doing a picture book for the children. I think the hedgehog looks cute,
so I try to paint him, but he keeps moving, the kids they say "paint faster,
paint faster." but I say "I'm painting it as fast as I can, but the hedgehog he
is too damn quick dammit." Next time I nail him to the damn floor, that stops
his running around. He stole my wedding ring too, horrible little thief.
BF: So are you planning on doing any other paintings in the same style?
MD: No, I had it with the painting, I'm going to try the sculpture.
I got to go now, I need the toilet.
