Lonely Girl Travels 
Great works!!!
Congrats on the SF publication! It must be cool to see your byline in a newspaper that you (likely) grew up with.
Thanks! And yes, it was pretty rad.
You are totally kidding me. I’m so proud of you, if that matters. You’ve come a long way from negativflesh.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Negative Flesh was and still is a masterpiece of American poetics.
I would like to buy the Virginia and Bud Mattihesen collage from you.My aunt Gin shaped my life .My Mom who is 92 and was conventional would love to see the collage.She ,Bud,Virginia and brother Bob whom was a well known artist in Seattle all practiced collage.
Great work on all these publications!
