Not sure why Cell Phone City wanted to ask me about my art (I told them I don't even have a smart phone, and I don't live in a city), but here's the interview anyway. Thanks, Christopher!
"Do you think everyone can now be an awesome artist such as yourself, since today’s generation is mostly tech-savvy?" Congratulations on handling this silly and potentially insulting quesrion with aplomb!
Agree with Joe P -I doubt much homework was done. You never know, though - it may encourage someone to venture into the scary world of no 'undo' button art. Well played.

Interesting interview... I get the strange feeling that they weren't entirely aware of the fact that you don't do digital painting... ;)

Yay! I don't have a smartphone, either.
WOW....isn't it sad that the young people today assume that everything is done with technology?
