Wallace Wood: Against the Grain, part 45
In 1972 he reflected on the previous two-and-a-half decades of his career: “I don’t worry about words, like whether I’m an illustrator or cartoonist or whatever. I’m an artist. I do it for a living. I don’t make any great distinctions between fine art and commercial art either. After all, they sell those fine art paintings. Looking back, I had fun. I would rather draw than eat maybe. And I don’t quite have that energy any more. That may be part of the reason why I’ve sort of simplified my style. I’d never get the stuff done today.”
