  1. I like this stuff. Really weird. Just my taste. Speaking of which, anyone get to 1708 Gallery for the Carson Fox solo exhibition? I've heard some great stuff but haven't gotten there yet.

  5. Martin, do you like Leonora Carrington? I stumbled upon her work many years ago and was immediately smitten. Although I know very little about their biographies, her and Gertrude were contemporaries and appear to have been drinking from the same fountain. If you haven't seen much of her stuff, I'd recommend looking her up at the library. My quick search of the internet failed to produce any of my favorite works.
