Boxing’s all about getting the job done as quickly as possible, whether it takes 10 or 15 or 20 rounds.
I still get invitations from all over Europe to speak at dinners, and it’s an honour that promoters and charities can use me to create income.
People need to have compassion for others.
I don’t normally watch myself on the telly.
I am just working on staying alive.
I usually use quick sketches that I accumulated from the figure drawing classes I once instructed.
Boxing is a buzz, but I went into it to make a living. I wasn’t going to go into the ring and get punched in the head for the fun of it.
And I want to say anything is possible. Comma. You know.
But when you actually go in the ring, it’s a very lonely and scary place. It’s just you and the other guy.
Color harmony was thrown out years ago, as restrictive chains were broken forming my free style.
For example, I like using strong Greek and Roman Renaissance characters as part of my series.
I ain’t got no right to judge someone.
I like going to the gym every day.
Instead of using brushes all the time, try a palette knife to paint.
I usually have a title in mind before I start.
I wouldn’t mind getting emotionally involved with a woman.
Strong line quality, composition and form are more crucial although even this is loosely done.
The colors I use may clash or vibrate against one another but this is done intentionally.
The most important thing taught to my students is to not be so photo realist in what they depict.
When I came into boxing, I brought it to the next level with adverts and doing pantomime and people just got jealous of me doing that.
Well, that’s cricket Harry. These things happen in boxing.
