Aside from my artwork, I spend most every waking hour collecting, ironing, folding, stacking and arranging used brown paper grocery bags into nice, neat, tidy little piles throughout my house. All the bags are sorted by size and manufacturer and must be facing the same way with the bottoms folded upward. I constantly run 6 dehumidifiers 24/7 to keep them from wrinkling as they must remain perfectly flat at all times. I am currently writing a 1,200+ page book about my experiences called "Bag Boy" which I hope to publish but can't bear the thought of using up all that yummy paper (you still reading this??? LOL).
Most anybody... and, yes, that includes YOU! (yes you... imagine that :). I also have interest in meeting other artists, wanna be artists, former collectors, Disney enthusiasts, people with or without disabilities, and most anyone else for that matter!!!
Oh, hands down... Lawrence Welk!!! YEAAAAHH!!... "Anna-One-A, Anna-Two-A." Ya just cant get enough accordian driven psycho polka music from geeky guys in pastel colored suits in my book!!! Throw in some Perry Como and Percy Faith and call the riot squad!
Oh it has to be OPRAH! There's nothing I like better than having a good cry in the afternoon while sipping one of those International Coffees and painting my toe nails. "YOU GO GURL"!!!
"Chronicles of Courage" by Jean Kennedy Smith & George Plimpton (Random House ISBN 0679782982), "Journey to Here" (ISBN 096806678X)and "Enabled in Words: The Real Lives, Real Victories of People with Disabilities" (ISBN: 0976656019). Ok... so I'm profiled in all of these... so this is a shameless plug.. so sue me:)Usually I read rediculously long, exhaustive artist's biographies. It's amazing what a depraved, debauched lot we are.Currently reading "Nothing if Not Critical" by Robert Hughes and "The Life and Works of Thomas Eakins" by Gordon Hendricks
Mostly they're kids with disabilities... they just seem to have this direct pipeline to God.
