I have always liked graphic, accessible, easily reproduced art. I've tried to steer clear of galleries. I never felt I fit into the fine art crowd. I honestly think you're selling out if you try to cater to wealthy people. I would much rather get my support from (common) people. That's why I think I'm doing T-shirts and posters. –Artist statement taken from an interview with Kit Boss for the Seattle Times, August 10, 1989.
