It was great to see your photos from this body of work for the second time, in a different context. (I think maybe the last time was a show at the Art Alliance, but I'm not sure off the top of my head). I always feel when I see something a second time and still like it, and remember the last time fondly, that something interesting is going on in the work! Hi, Justyna, How nice to hear from you.

It is always great to hear what you think about the work , my own and especially now that I am out of town the work of other artists. The blog is a great way to keep in touch with the community when I can't physically be there to see things for myself. Libby,

But portraits are political most of the time in that they are cultural. I am thinking about the most traditional of them. They are props for the status quo, and therefore political support for the folks in power! Anyway, sounds like a super project!!! And besides, I do think of your work as often political! I'd love to see it when you're ready to show. Hi, Cavin, Well it does feel a little like the ’60s these days. But portraits are political most of the time in that they are cultural.

Funny, I've been doing a series of historical/socio-political portraits for the last 3 years at the Walter Palmer Leadership and Learning Partners Charter School(at 6th and Poplar), that virtually no one knows about. I've done over 210 so far. I guess there's something in the air... I look forward to seeing the Barkeley Hendricks show at Pafa!
