The Cultural Questionnaire.
What’s your favorite line from a movie?
‘The owls are not what they seem’, from Twin Peaks.
Which movie do you love but would be embarrassed to talk about in a serious, intellectual conversation?
I don’t think I’d be embarrassed to talk about any movie I liked.
The tune of the moment?
‘Run Me Out’, Zola Jesus.
Name a museum where you’d be happy to be locked in for the night.
The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. I take my 3-year old son there at least twice a month. If I was locked there for a night, I would have a lot of animals to draw and I could sleep in The Bat Cave.

- The Game, by Ken Dryden.
- Cold Skin, by Albert Sánchez Piñol.

Not a painting actually, but DC Comics editor Joe Hughes has a life-size cut out of Animal Man in his office that I’d steal.
Which artist, alive or not, in any given field, would you love to party with for a wild, wild night?
Shane MacGowan.
