"Pop Art has always held the greatest artistic influence on me.
I believe it is as relevant today as it ever was because
it is
all around us. Peeling billboards revealing layers of images
are Rosenquist, the skeleton of an abandoned gas station is
Ruscha. Warhol is a series of posters repetitively pasted on
sides of buildings, Indiana is in the numbers, and Johns and
Rauschenberg are picking through litter after a parade on main
street - urban life is like living in a Pop Art museum."
Mark Scantling is an mid-life, emerging artist from Texas. He began
his career as a professional artist just a few years ago, and now has
