The Hype Magazine - Rick Allen Interview Quotes
What exactly got you into doing the fine art that you do?
"I actually started painting when I was a kid. Sort of no training, nothing like that… I really enjoyed the medium, whatever it was I was doing. I just found it was a fantastic way for me to be in the moment."
Is it ever painful to sell your art and part with it?
"Yes, very. You start out with a blank canvas and then you start to do rough sketches and studies. You fall in love with the thing as you see it develop. Then by the time you’re a couple of weeks in, to me it’s really painful to let it go."
