In 2006, Roman moved back to New York to try and get his painting career back on track. He found it really hard to get buyers in Norway, in fact he called it a potato country:-), which I guess is not totally wrong. So, in January of 2006 he kissed me goodbye and off he went.
While in NYC he had a very productive year painting wise, but it proved harder than he initially thought to get back into the scheme of things. So after little less than a year, he returned to Norway.
While in New York, though, he was interviewed by Panman Productions and this video was the result.

This is a video made in 1997, recently digitalised by Roman Scott's very good friend Todd Mecklem. In it Roman talks about his relationship with the city of New York, his inspirations and process of painting.
