Went to NY this past weekend with Dana. Intoxicating as usual.

We both met own mentors for the first time in brooklyn.

Apparently they are friends, good friends

and their studios are 10 minutes apart.

My dude is Joe.

He's a critic and a curator and a painter.

He said the thing that interests ME most, IS the most important thing.

I like that.

he thought the large wheat past pieces looked like they could have been done by someone living under the bridge.

. .that they had a sort of primitivist street art quality to them.

and I say Quality because I think he meant it that way, but I'm not sure

He said the pieces held light even though they were dark....

the light doesn't die.

He asked me where I saw this work and I don't think I answered him.

I think he half wanted me to say that I like it right here.

I know what he meant .....do I see it at some point showing in NY or beyond, do I want to bust into the scene,

Answering that affirmatively sets you up as arrogant , or hungry, or competitive or stupid.

or all of the above

like a singer on american idol belting it out way way way off key.

Especially with out knowing what he thinks of the work.

I should have been more bold and just asked him
