Ping pong table - I'm perfecting my backhand.

If you could resurrect one no longer living person to have lunch with, knowing you will have to return them to the grave right after coffee, who would it be?
Charley Harper, but I'm not keen on digging his grave.
Preferred method of dealing with an encounter with an acquaintance whose name you can't remember.

How does your mother describe your profession?
I'll have to ask her...
Coffee or tea?
Coffee in the morning, tea in the evening. That's the rules.
What's your earliest drawing memory?
In kindergarten, a teaching telling me that the sky goes all the way down to the ground and isn't just a blue strip at the top of the page.
How do you prefer to spend your mornings?
With a slow bike ride into the studio, enjoying the morning sun.
