| 2001 | Austin Chronicle : December 28, 2001 Graffiti on the Superhighway "I used the mouse to draw on the canvas, deciding not to experiment with the painting options. After completing the first frame, I moved the frame dial to "2." An outline of the previous sketch remained, so I traced over it.
