RE: This weeks Auctions! A 48 print David Mack German Kabuki Portfolio
How I'd adore to, but you don't even want to KNOW what I'm reduced to just to get the cash for catching up on "The Alchemy". Yes, I am THAT far behind. So thanks, tell the Honourable David Mack he's worshipped, it's just he worshipped by a broke single Mom!
Love,
Lily

[ Posted by heroictimes on Jan 31st, 2007 12:12 PM ]... lol! Well Lily, don't know David Mack personally so can't pass on your broke single mom love [though I'm quite appreciative of it :)], but thanks for checking out those prints! :) I checked out a couple issues of Mr. Mack's current storyline, that's the Alchemy right? Good stuff! I wasn't crazy about his Kabuki work when first introduced to it, but his work continues to grow, and evolve, and experiment with the medium. I think Steranko in a recent interview alluded to David Mack as one of the artists he was impressed with. That's pretty darn high praise. ---HT

[ Posted by Lily on Feb 1st, 2007 9:51 AM ]... Dear Heroictimes, Thanks for understanding - anything I can do to improve your grandkid's chances of health and wealth, let me know. Oh, regarding David Mack, I should say I am not as objective as possible - I was married to a Yakuza and lived in Japan, so there's that - memories and appreciation of a complex culture well portrayed - but there is also the increasing artistic beauty of his work - by "Skin Deep" & "Metamorphis" he was mixing mediums and styles in a way that made it very confusing to follow, but I didn't care cause when I got it, I was in heaven. Sorta the mental equivalent of reading Grant Morrison. Every time I figure out something he's written I feel like I just got my MIT diploma. I'm going to request you as a firend, if that's ok. With Love From Newark, NJ, Lily

Oi, did I get into it with my Mom over this whole deal - my picture on the net! Horrors! Didn't bother pointing out said pic was the work of my son on his super cheapo kiddy digital camara, while not wearing his glasses, and that therefore said photo gives only a vague idea of what one looks like (though aside from the blur and cut off head - espescially the cut out hair, my crowning glory, for sweet Odin's sake, even D.(my son,only 5) worships it - it's not that bad a pic. Kinda Renoir-looking, and I love Renoir) Oh, and don't think me immodest, it's just that I believe in having some things to feel confidant about, looks-wise, espescially in the States, and I am confidant about my hair.Wouldn't dye it ever again - naturally it is what I call "tiger striped", bit of red, blond and all shades between. Nor will I ever cut it again. It stays a tiger striped lion mane, that's that.
Dear, I seem to have blathered on about hair for a while, eh? Sorry, boys. Making a point, though a weak and unimportant one.
What I'm really commenting here about is that I need people to talk to about-well, all sorts of stuff. Comics, yes. If you pick apart your reading material (books count, too), I'm tha gal to compare notes with. If your thoughts on such pickings lead you down interesting paths in your head, I want to talk about that too.
And that, dear friends, is all I have to say. Really.
