you know I did an Elvis series about a decade ago, I still have the negatives; I should scan them. I would love to revisit some of my Elvis ideas, especially with your input.

[trackback] . . . Jayrah and I dropped off the finished framed piece at the donation party Saturday night. Ended up same basic dimensions as the Robert Johnson piece (image 20″ x 20″ framed 24″ x 36″). I think I might start offering matting …

I don’t know! I’d still like to do a Eudora one. I just think she’s so wonderful. Lewis Nordan is another. Elvis, though . . . I want to shatter a bunch of records and glue down magenetic tape and just pretty it all up. What say you, Wah??

And Jaysus and Vee, thanks for the great compliments and suggestions.

this post alone is beautiful, even if the art doesn’t turn out like you’d planned.

the process last time, of going and buying letters, and drinking, and half-watching you “destroy” the robert johnson photograph, was quite cool. like we had a celebrity visiting for the weekend, or had just bought an exotic pet (kinkajou!), or something. but while you were stamping and rearranging and asking opinions and fretting, i in no way thought it would turn out like it did. (and now, as soon as mr. difazio is located, it will hang proudly at chez richsset!)

what i’m saying is: your humility is understandable, but i’d put money (in the form of a bid?) on it being another knockout.

who’s next in the series? any ideas?

WOW! i know i’m an outsider, but i have to say it is very striking!

we’re (all) in this together; i will not abandon you; i will be here with you/for you; you are not alone; we will get through this together.

i like that you used hands rather than faces. this tells us everyone is affected and we are all linked to this somehow even without knowing one another…

i don’t see a childs hand; you should try to incorporate a childs hand…

if you are trying to make a lasting impression, you have succeeded.

[trackback] . . . The beginnings of another piece with Gorjus. Hopefully, I will have a finished one to post in a few days. What does it say to you? . . .
