'On the wall above my desk hung a picture of a huge, cresting wave that I had torn out of a surfing magazine that belonged to my son, Viktor. Earlier that year [1999] I had taught him to surf – passing my time in the water, pushing him onto waves. I stared for a long time at that picture. It had power and abstraction. I went to work, using the wave as a basis for a large drawing. It just happened and I followed' - Robert Longo.
