Given unlimited funds, I don't think I would really do anything all that grandiose. I think that every dollar I spent would simply be spent in pursuit of making art, and growing as an artist.
First, I would spend quite a bit of time just traveling, visiting the world's major museums and educating myself in the field of art history. I often make reference to history in my paintings and I believe that immersing myself in this field would be helpful in allowing me to make smarter, more humorous references.
After returning to the U.S., I would rent a big, nice studio space, furnish it comfortably, and return to making art. As I would have unlimited funds, I would have fine stretchers built for me, and use high-quality, professional grade paints, mediums, and brushes. I would also invest in high-quality photography equipment for creating my reference photos.
Ultimately, I just want to make good paintings. Even if I had an infinite amount of funding, that's all I'd want to do.
