Simon Bisley on where his monsters come from: "It's like with dreams — you're not really consciously thinking about most of that stuff. It's all the things that come out from behind the wall when you're asleep." (The Gutter Review, 2021)
"But if you let yourself live that dream or live in a constant dream state, it all just comes out and you make entirely new things. You can build the whole world and whole people."
"My paintings seem to make the strongest impression on people who are, well, who are crazy. A good many people think as I do. If they like my work they are creative... or they are crazy."
—H.R. Giger
