What I learned in Art College, Revisited or I Still Don’t Like Patchouli:

1. The Greatful Dead didn’t inspire me to make great works of art when I was in school. Box of Rain may be pretty, but I always hated sloppy jam bands.
2. Turpentine still makes me queasy.
3. If I can’t resolve a short-pose drawing in 15 minutes, it probably isn’t happening.
4. A number-two pencil is my friend.
5. I love to draw, but I suck at painting.

Somebody sent one of those totally annoying email viruses to my Verizon address. Apologies to any of my friends who may have gotten it from me.
