ah yes, i can see that

also been compared to paintings by Gil Bruvel or Michael Parkes

I've heard of Michael Parkes, but not Gil Bruvel; I just googled him. It is very similar. It's all very dreamy and other-wordly. I envy artists with creativity. The extent of mine is a sad little lady bug on a watchtower margin.

I did a paper on him in college. Very good stuff.

oh, so Newark was basically the equivalent of hell to him

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

Oh. See, I went to NJIT in Newark, so I don't think of the slums when I hear the name.

No, no, Hoboken.
