It was mostly white people interested. Some people would say stuff, say I looked like Gauguin, all different artists they say I looked like. A lot of black people seen them, but they didn't say much to me about it. Some of them said I was mad, some cursed me out, some liked it, some of them admired me, some didn't. A friend of mine--he's passed away now--say to me: 'I look at your paintings but I don't see nothing. But every time I turn around you're in the newspaper.'
