What then would you do? …
Bakersfield So I am writing up an article for ArtScene on an artist who was once a teacher of mine. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I did feel a bit of special insight into his process as an artist having seen the way he conducted a class. Right after artwalk we left …

I pretend to be stupid and talk like a hick a lot. I noticed that some people think I am not so smart and I prefer it that way. Academics (who are often of average intellect) enrage me when they expect deference to their stated opinions based on their status or position. I have learned …
We went to an art opening “Preview” reception last night in Chinatown and it seemed all of the galleries and preview receptions – I think realizing that Culver City AND Bergamot Station have their openings tonight, they switched gears at the last minute and made their own date. It was mobbed and people happily took …
