David Benjamin Sherry is, in my opinion, one of the most important new photographers we’ve seen in years. As far as I’m concerned, he’s a genius, but that’s just my opinion. However, if you don’t agree, if you don’t like David’s work, chances are you don’t like yourself. Why don’t you like yourself? You’re OK, just a little fat is all. Your breath’s not great either… and you talk funny… otherwise you’re fine. Give yourself a break.

What? What’s Twenty Cocks?
What’s so good about Tony Cox?
Like what?

What sort of art does Tony do?
What was the worst thing?
The actual fair?
Right. What was the most memorable event from your last trip to Miami?
And you were covered in gold paint?
Covered in gold paint.
That’s weird.
