00:00 Who's the cause of so much of my anxiety?
00:02 (MUMBLES)
00:03 (LAUGHS)
00:05 Sorry, Mum.
00:06 How David Bromley is not in the rock and roll band
00:12 is one of life's great mysteries.
00:13 He's a creative genius.
00:15 He's iconic.
00:16 He's everywhere.
00:17 Everyone wants a Bromley.
00:19 His work is just purely decorative.
00:21 He just seems to have overproduced.
00:23 Produce, produce, produce.
00:24 And push and push and push
00:26 till he actually falls in a heap.
00:28 Standing still is not an option.
00:30 (GLASS SHATTERS)
00:32 This is all I do all day, is find broken shit everywhere.
00:36 It is a scary experience to have a mind that doesn't stop.
00:40 My own adolescence was quite horrific.
00:45 I had some schizophrenic happenings and phobias.
00:49 I was clawing to survive.
00:52 I worked out that I had to find a career
00:54 and utterly commit to it.
00:56 I just said to myself, "I'm a painter."
00:59 Still some days, I have trouble not skidding off the tracks.
01:02 David's brain is so fast and not compartmentalised.
01:06 Yugi, she's just invaluable.
01:09 Her influence on him has been profound.
01:11 A typical day for us is madness.
01:14 When I met Yugi, that hard shell was starting to soften.
01:17 A lot of mud's been thrown at him,
01:21 but he's not gonna change, is he?
01:23 Just when I think I could love you more.
01:26 David's work gives people hope.
01:28 And that's what art's for.
01:30 I have never met another person
01:33 who lived with his eyes open as much as David.
01:36 I want to be a painter of joy,
01:41 but I don't just want it to come from darkness.
01:43 I am scared I'm gonna die if I jump straight in,
01:49 which would be really fricking cool for the documentary.
