A Preface.....limited edition printing.

Almost immediately after the screening of the Preface of the film in Kingston NY in August. I was thinking of how I can get it to more people. Granted, I always take care of those in the film first. So I began printing up dvd's to send to all the participants, so they can have them for their archives. I also began thinking of how I could get it to the public in a more economical way than just dvd's. I have been speaking with my friend and web maestro Michael Lukacsko about the possibility of doing pay per view VOD from our new website.

Granted the VOD section is not quite ready yet, but we are hoping the new website will be ready within the week, along with the Preface in a VOD section of it's own. Soon to have even more VOD sections from select participants. There is well over 200 hours of footage and I don't want to deprive anyone of being able to view much of the footage before it hits the screen.

As for now, know that I am my web-maestro are steadily working on helping you to have the most amazing viewing experience into the lives and work of what I feel are some of the most important artists of this day and age.

My Day with John and Rodney

On a lovely Saturday in August. During my recent NYC trip, I got to spend a part of the day with two of my favorite painters and film participants, John Zinsser and Rodney Dickson. We began the day with John coming to Rodney's to pick me up so we could go talk about a few projects I am working on. We invited John into Rodney's and ensued a wonderful conversation about painting and nyc gallery history. John, being the historian he is, never seems to be without his camera.

Once we left Rodney's, John and I went to his studio with Rodney in tow on one of his motorcycles. Yet another wonderful conversation about painting ensued there. Here's some pics covering that wonderful day. Pics at Rodney's by Zinsser, pics at Zinsser's studio by myself.
