"I always feel mortality is a very serious subject and I don’t want to deal with it at all in my art. It was never my intention, even though obliquely, between everybody in the world and me, we all have to deal with it one way or another. But yeah, if you’re gonna look at something very seriously as a day-in day-out type of situation, either the skeleton or the reaper can be seen as one-liner jokes." Josh Smith
