The late 20th century had just enough communication abilities to allow superstar-ness and communality to happen. It was a musical renaissance that rivals the visual one that happened in the 1400s.

If you take a bunch of superstars and put them in a room where they don't have their assistants and entourage, it's funny to see what happens.

My drawings have been described as pre-internationalist, meaning that they were finished before the ideas for them had occurred to me. I shall not argue the point.

People are experience-rich and theory-poor. I help people organize / make sense of their experiences.
