Another use for the paper diploma: sell pieces of it to next year's graduates as means to block the latch on the security coded doors in their final hours.

How about a butcher shop in downtown?

Stilted at the grocery. If I have the afternoon free I shop and experience the label reading worry frenzy in an attempt to know all of the ingredients. I want a good astronaut food that does it all. My dog eats Urban Wolf, which is astro-dog food. I want that sort of diet. Peanut butter, salad, bagels and granola used to satisfy my dietary needs, but no longer. I would love a foodstuff of black eyed peas and cornbread. mmmm.

Here's another acorn for the nuggets: become disciplined about making your work. (I often need this advice).

Art, glad to see some new words from you on these pages.

Keith, limited editions are a part of the gallery machine. Archival pigment prints are not cheap. Check out jen bekman's 20x200 archival pigment prints @ $20. http://www.20x200.com/
Locally, Image Works can make prints from your original files or negatives.

Jill, go to the Art & Architecture Library and get their DVD of Robert Irwin: The Beauty of Questions. I think you'll like it. Irwin admits to all of the faults of art making, but he also rises to the challenge of making new work for everyone without a bag of history lessons or wall text. It's accessible and new for everyone. It's utopic and populist. And bogus too. I'm a firm believer in his work. I'm planning my trip to San Diego to see the show in January. Lawrence Weschler will be speaking about Irwin's work. GO.

The last paragraph reads, "The best art is different than most entertainment because it is not escapist, it is about the here and now. It is a way of coming back to and engaging the world more intensely than ever, even if the world is sometimes difficult to look at. It is a dull mirror that allows your triumphs and tragedies to be reflected back to you because we are all human. The best art reminds us of what it is like to be human. We look at art to learn about ourselves, and the best art reminds us that we are not alone".

Bullshit, sure, but it's truly something to believe in. These are the values and possibilities of what we are capable of making.
