“In all my illustrations, I’m trying to give my modern interpretation of what the Emerald City Sequence [from the movie The Wiz] means to me. I want these images to be in the heads of the black people and children especially, so they grow up with the same confidence.” – Jaleel Campbell

“Everything is alive, everything has energy. When I feel it sometimes it’s from a person, sometimes it’s from a tree. It’s definitely tactile I can touch it and I can feel it. To me, I want to try to show somebody else what I’m seeing, so that’s why I try to push that in my paintings no matter what the subject matter is.” – Scott Yurko
