JJ: You haven't said anything about "Art-ville," Mike. Didn't you like it? Mike: Like it? Uh... well, "like" is a strong word, J.J. JJ: You didn't get it, did you? That's okay. It's a dense piece. It takes time to absorb. Basically, most of my images made a statement about post-feminism. Mike: Including when you sat buck naked with a pumpkin on your head? JJ: No, that was about South Africa. Mike, were you having trouble seeing?

Sadly, 4 centuries must elapse before this ‘recognition’ must come to pass. I die for my Art. (sigh) Alas, alas ! Oh, WOE !((overacting?? EMOTING??
