    Since I seem to be having trouble communicating lately. I thought I'd give everyone insight into who I am so that future misunderstandings may be avoided:

    I am a sensitive artist
    Nobody understands me because I am so deep.
    In my work, I make allusions to books that nobody else has read,
    Music that nobody else has heard,
    And art that nobody else has seen.
    I can't help it, because I am so much more intelligent and well-rounded
    Than everyone who surrounds me.
    I stopped watching tv when I was six months old
    Because it was so boring and stupid,
    And started reading books,
    And going to recitals and art galleries.
    I don't go to recitals any more,
    Because my hearing is too sensitive,
    And I don't go to art galleries anymore
    Because there are people there,
    And I can't deal with people,
    Because they don't understand me.
    I stay home, reading books that are beneath me,
    And working on my work, which no one understands.
    I am sensitive.
    Sensitive

    (John S. Hall)

    I too am a sensitive artist. I go to art openings not for the people (excellence is lost in the artworld nowadays, its all about WHO you know, BOO-HOO!!!)but for the free cheap wine. I never finish a book I start but I'm still sensitive. I have cable TV and cable internet, I rarely go out anymore I'm so sensitive. But the terrific truth is...man I've had damn good luck with the ladies because I am so sensitive!!! Life is good being so sensitive!

    If that is the case then we probably have met or seen each other on Gallery Row. I noticed you mentioned the two most progressive galleries on the street.

    Are you the kleptomaniac lush everyone has taken off their mailing lists yet still continues to come to every opening? If so, I was always following you to make sure you didn't steal anything!

    I am a Senstive Artist's brother
    I go to galleries and get introduced to sensitive artists as "my little brother"
    I force them to give me their dead fish handshakes
    Oh, how they hate conforming to mini mores like handshakes
    I am a Senstive Artist's brother
    I get left to talk to Sensitive Artists at gallery openings
    I am so boring and stupid, unworthy of their wit
    I am not a Sensitive Artist
    I like to look them in the eyes while they try to look over my shoulder to spot and be spotted
    When they respond to impress groupie girls, I like to counter their well-rounded intellect with "It's all about Language",
    And leave them no choice but to agree or stutter, then I look over their shoulder and muse about needing more wine....I'll be right back!

    It's fun being a sensitive artists brother.

    oily,

    Barbara is more than a grouch (the stories I could tell)...however she did stop smoking. You will not see me at Moody...since I am out of that business and out of Houston.

    Hilarious about Amado!

    heyp,

    Are you really an artist's little brother?

    I saw Joe Havel speak at the MFA not too long ago. He did the curtain thing at the MFA right? I really liked that curtain, but not his table clothe thingies,kinda bland. But hey, I'm a nobody! Lets seeeee, does your sister do sculpture too?

    Yes, Joe was commissioned to do the MFA entrance. He has one of the most unique foundry processes around. He was also featured at the Whitney Biennial, and of course the local sensitive artists in Houston cried favoritism.

    You've got to love that artist community.

    heyp,

    I know the answer, but I am drawing a blank at the moment. I have been racking my brain and cannot remember who your sister is. What is her work like? I could probably remember then.

    Is it R.Hecker? Shes absolutely outstanding. I love all of her work.
    Is it L.Ludwig? The sugar trees are better than the wedding cakes in my opinion. Ok, i absolutely hate the wedding cakes but they sell don't they?
    Well, who is it?!

    btw, Joe is the other brother.
    My sister is a mother now and hasn't had a show since. That is probably why you are drawing a blank.

    She does encaustic painting/drawing, with quite a bit of symoblism drawn from Buddhist philosophies, Physics, and visceral visions. Her last show was at the Jung center.
