A pleasure for me as well, your majesty. I think that we both distill pain into our work, but come at it from different angles. You seem to suck up the world's pain like a sponge, then distill it into a piece. My work has always centered on my own internal conflicts, things I couldn't translate into words either due to the illness or because they called for the more ambiguous type of message that a painting, I think, conveys better for me. I never was comfortable working in 3-D, but I did marry a ceramicist and dated another in high school and became great friends with another, Pez, who also painted. But please let this court jester know what you think of his latest poem, "Feet of Clay in Steel-Toed Boots." I always look forward to your comments.
Ta. :) That incorrigible layabout and scoundrel, Atticus of Atlantis
