Arts Letter of the Day

[The following letter was composed on a typewriter and arrived before Jen Graves’s current feature on critic Matthew Kangas went to press.]
March 3, 2007I’m keeping Jen Graves’ Mary Henry and Frye Museum articles for a little Stability in this nutty Life.
Graves’ reference to Mathew Kangas’ discovery of “breast and Vagina” elements in Henry’s work reminded me of Kangas’ earlier claim that men who used male subjects in their work were likely to be GAY. I have a clipping somewhere of my response that I’m not Gay: “not even Cheerful”; and I use male figures because they are easier to DRAW. Many Critics are Fools.

What is it with People and the Germanic Capitalization of Nouns (and sometimes adjectives)? It's Fucking Weird. I Don't Like It.
Though I'm gay that's not the reason my subjects are mostly men. It's because their muscle tone provide more contrast and that makes them easier to draw. I also mostly use charcoal so that just adds to it. Women tend to look more 3 demensional. But that's just me.
#1 - deleuze uses it to good effect in expressionism in philosophy: spinoza.
Yeah, I meant that my drawings of women end up looking more TWO dimensional (I spelled dimensional wrong too, teehee).
Did a gay guy just write "teehee?"
Damn this is a cowtown.
