Self-reflective Creator Pillows

A portrait of Phil May.

'I think your work is brilliant and iconoclastic, but then again what do I know.'

Wolf Danny With "Random""The work must be tantamount to mayhem. Making an insatiable public confused, indifferent, annoyed—this is the premise on which rests my deliberately vacuous oeuvre."

'I don't like heights...maybe that's why I've had so many low points in my life.'

'Hey! Contemplate your own navel!'

"He's his own worst enemy."

"Talking to your own reflection? Even your imagination is pathetic."

That party went well.

A small number of people are afraid of heights, but there is an epidemic fear of widths.

"When you look at me, Alice, what do you see?"

"My inner child wants to have a playdate with your inner child."

"You need to stop bottling it up."

"Hmmm, this might just be not funny enough for The New Yorker."

"Wow! So you think my chronic self-hatred may just be an undiagnosed case of lactose intolerance?"

"I think I'll keep a diary..."

Pachyderm insomnia.

"After the judicial system, I'm my own harshest critic."

"You're a shark! You're a killer! Nothing can stop you! Now get back in that boardroom and apologize."

'I've used up all my eligibilities'

"It all started when I didn't grow up in a palatial estate."

"It was only when I started to write the story of my life that I realised I'd forgotten to have one."

"I'm like most people, I guess––a mixture of good and bad."

Doubt or Certainy

'You get into arguments even when you talk to yourself ?'

'I wouldn't advise you to write your autobiography. It would be a very dull read.'

'I gave up hope of receiving a Genius Grant years ago. Now I'm basically shooting for the less impressive Mediocrity Grant.'

"That's exactly what I keep telling myself!"

'Okay, but I'm going to hate myself in the morning.'

"Being a celebrated artist, I do sometimes wonder why you never celebrate me."

'I'd trust you anywhere - I think!'

"Oh come now, Mr And Mrs narcissus, Have you two been fighting again?"

"Just accept it, Frank. You're a bald eagle."

"I'm realizing how useless I'd be in a post apocalyptic world - All I do is draw cartoons."

'What's the difference between solitude and loneliness, doctor?'

"You what? Well, you darn well ought to have a guilt complex"
