one of the most important factors in being a crafts person, is that
we have a product....and we can sell it.
what the hell is wrong with that??....................who can find anything
to buy at a university art opening.............50 turtles to play with.
skulls, piles of sand...............shit..........that is nothing.
be proud, stand up tall.................you have a product.........and that
is great.......we need a hell of a lot more of that in the arts.
what i love best, and it makes me gag..........seven pages of written
material, explaining a visual art item.................god, i can
see.......can
judge for myself.
with craft....., you drink soup from it.......eat a meal from it.
and bake a pie in it......and it may be almost artistic.
i never apologize for a second about what i do.........and i never
will............i make, i teach, i do. and i build....so what is wrong with
that.?

if you want all the secret dope on ron roy, just mail me a letter.
where he works, how much he makes, what his shoe size is.
actually, who cares.?
he either tells the truth, or he is full of it......
i tend to want to hire him, and learn from him.
what i get free, is a bonus.
the line is very thin in magazines and the internet about
what is commercial......but we need the information, so that is
what counts. if one steps too far over the line......they get zapped.
and that is the way it should be.
