Like about that thickness.

Right.

And then I'm taking that and I'm heating the metal underneath with pretty big industrial hot plates.

And it just melts like enough that it makes the work feel like it has added depth, but not enough that even if you got really close and looked at it, you didn't see any bleed or any melted pieces.

I told him.

Whoa.

We were filming Anchorman.

Clearly, I was the idiot.

Thank God he didn't listen to me, right?

Well, and they could travel the land doing meet and greets and solving crimes.

So you take a break from acting for quite a while.

You're focused almost entirely on art, but then you do dive back into Hollywood headfirst with directing, writing and producing.

What do you see other than creativity?

Do you see any sort of similarities between the work you do in the art world and the art you make in the entertainment industry?

Sure.

So the biggest difference to start with is that I am limited as a fine artist by my own skillset, right?

I can't make anything that I can't physically make.

Like if I'm not good enough to make it, I can't do it.

And I was making quite a few little art films just outside of Hollywood, just things that were, you know,

experimental is a weird word, but just pushing it, just trying different things, seeing what I could capture, how I could say something, how I could tell a story.
