LLT,

Big shee-out owt to yah fer all the support you've shown!

Yes Gauguin rox but I haven't really read up on the symbolists much. I'll hafta check up on that and more surrealism etc. as alot of my art is kinda "just do it"/subconscious driven and I've always been big on symbols! I mostly studied non-Western art with a gen'l overview of Western. I think your fine art knowledge is far ahead of mine LLT. You know all about Dali, Gauguin etc. etc.

This whole "Pop Surrealist" thing sometimes cracks me up cus I know I'm not the only one doing "doodles" like I did on school notebook paper (only in paint now) and now it's a "genre", too funny!! Seems just as deep as any other genre' and probably more authentic than many... Always seemed married to expressionism as much as the surrealist and pop elements (to me).

I think your tikis all over the place compositions were an influence on this latest series.

Word is Bond!
