....how gratifying it indeed is to see that the focus of my painting of the last several years is being felt and resonating in various quarters here in Chicago! Why even the Judas of Okinawa himself has a show up at Steppenwolf's Garage pertaining to WW2 Pacific Theater....welcome aboard my Higgins boat big fella -whoa! Could you please set your girth down somewhere mid ship? This thing does have a weight capacity...here's to hoping someone doesn't explode onstage like some kind of human hand grenade! I hear too many happy meals consumed simultaneously can turn combustible.
