Books
I love to read and one of my all time favorite books is, "Owen Meany," "A Winters Tale" by Mark Helprin. Lately I've really been getting into Walter Mosley's books, even the sci fi ones but I'll read just about anything from Jane Austen to Micky Spillane.
Heroes
My big brother
John Singer Sargent
Leonardo
Herbert Broderick (my art history prof)
Irwin Greenberg and John Stewart (my art teachers who taught me how to paint.)

"Holy fuck, there’s some sinister shit in here. While it’s gorgeously laid-out and designed and the production values are through the roof, it’s just resoundingly creepy as fuck..." RAZORCAKE
Why would someone do that? Especially in your class. Your art appreciation class was aweome! I learned so much taking your class. I recomend you to all of my friends and random strangers. Hope all is well, I still haven't made it to any of your shows, but I plan on going sometime.
Happy New Year Kenney! My new year hasn't been so happy so far as I just got laid off from my job. But maybe it'll enable me to pursue some more worthwhile things. I hope you're doing well - Portland misses you! :)
