“My paintings are about other earthlings that we share this planet with… and about our relationship with them. I care very much about the environment and about endangered species. I feel an emotional connection to animals and I believe we have no more right to this planet than they do. There are all kinds of ways to communicate. For me, one of the most effective ways is through a sense of humor.” – Tom Palmore
