Satya Ji, Thank you for your interest but it seems that my art 'career' is over. Law school was my capitulation to market realities. It was too hard for me to continue as an artist; too hard to make a living and not enough fire in the belly to disregard approaching late middle age with no 'success' to speak of.
Reading Turq write about Crumb, one of my very favorites (and on so many different levels), is very inspiring but there are so many wonderful artists who toil on with little recognition and even less recompense. There are times when I miss very much the solitary days in the studio, slinging paint amid a few beat-up chairs with dust motes swirling in sunbeams and the smell of turpentine and linseed oil mixing with incense and the music of Fleetwod Mac or Pink Floyd pumping out of a paint encrusted tape player. But apparently I failed to sign up for that duty for the long haul and once I got into the law I found my actual dharma (at least for now). Time will tell if I get back into painting; I always feel that it's still there waiting.
