00:00What a great bunkhouse!
00:25Can you teach me some style points?
00:29You're pretty far gone. I don't know if I can resurrect you.
00:32You can start with a hat, but I don't know.
00:36That's totally hand-done.
00:40Including all the conchos, the ceramic guns, the boots, the spurs, the jacket, all hand-tooled, hand-engraved.
00:51Whoa! This is your first?
00:53Very first, yeah.
00:55Now, how did you figure out how to do this? You just took one apart?
00:59Took one apart, made a pattern out of it, and started stitching.
01:03When I did this, I said, hey, I can do this.
01:05Look at this!
01:06This has pants.
01:07Well, you don't want to rush fall, so maybe not this one.
01:11That's beautiful.
01:12This is High Sierra, I call it.
01:13High Sierra only.
01:14Well, see, the unique thing about that is the boots.
01:16Oh, yeah.
01:17Which have Vibron soles on them, see?
01:20Oh, yeah!
01:21That's for hiking in there.
01:22Yeah.
01:23Right, right.
01:24Now, I would vote for the metallic ones, personally.
01:27Oh, that's one.
01:28Yeah.
01:29The gold lame?
01:30Yeah.
01:31Oh, yeah.
01:32That would be the gold lame jacket.
01:33Oh, yeah.
01:34Look at those pants.
01:36Doing the Mission San Gabriel.
01:38I'm doing Spanish California, all the Spanish California historical sites.
01:45These paintings take a long time to develop, you know?
01:48Right now, it just looks like blobs, and I think they probably draw an opinion about what
01:53they're seeing without waiting to see how I pull it all together.
01:58I don't pull it together until the last few brush strokes in the drawing.
02:01It makes a totally different painting.
02:03Spanish?
02:04Spanish California.
02:05Espanol California.
02:06Espanol California.
02:07Espanol California.
02:08Espanol California.
02:09Espanol California.
02:10Espanol California, si.
02:11Oh, yeah.
02:12Oh, yeah.
02:13Oh, yeah.
02:14Kill all the white man.
02:16Whoa, whoa.
02:17Yeah, whoa.
02:18I read where no country that has a McDonald's has ever gone to war with another country that had
02:24a McDonald's.
02:25I thought that was fascinating.
02:27So I decided everywhere I go that there's a McDonald's, I want to paint that.
02:33I want to somehow record that.
02:36I thought everything I did was important.
02:39I thought everything I did was going to be cherished.
02:42I mean, that's how artists start out.
02:44How else could you start out if you didn't think that you were the greatest?
02:46I mean, if you don't think that, you're not going to start out.
02:49This is the kind of business that if you have to believe that you are something or else you won't do it.
02:54And at that point, I believed that everything I did was important.
02:5835 years down the road now, I'm not so sure.
03:01I mean, I'm less sure than I ever was that anything of mine is going to be any good.
03:05I mean, I'm starting to throw stuff away now.
03:07I'm trying to release myself from the past and trying to stay in the moment and just concentrate on what I'm doing and never mind about that stuff.
03:15And if it's in the way, it just, out it goes.
