So my clothing memories are not good from my childhood.

One thing that's been kind of disastrous for me is...

when I have a, my studio now is just like a few blocks from my house.

And so I don't have any incentive to wear a nice, you know, I used to never want to be

I mean, I just wear my painting clothes now every day.

You know, I put them on in the morning and wear them to the studio and then wear them, you know, so they're just, my kids make fun of me.

It's just Amazon essentials, you know, like a short sleeve shirt and some pants.

And so I guess I don't dress that well on a daily basis anymore.

It's just work clothes.

But yeah, I mean...

You know, my dad did have a weakness for nice clothes.

He always dressed really well, like Burberry, you know, like kind of expensive things when you think about it for his budget.

So, yeah.

You know, really great.

And he'd always have really amazing genes, like Levi, you know, because he was from Oklahoma and, you know, always had, like, fantastic genes from, like, the 60s or the 50s, you know.

Yeah, actually.

And he always had these fantastic jackets with leather elbows and I don't know.

He always dressed pretty well.

It's like a cobalt blue, I guess.

I always think about it this way.
