  1. Beautiful pictures, except
    Beautiful pictures, except the Time Regained one, which is kind of creepy.

  2. Michael, I really enjoyed
    Michael, I really enjoyed reading your literary/intellectual history. I hope you’ll cover other classic authors in litkicks. And David, your artwork is perfect for its subject. Do you like the works of Amedeo Modigliani? I see some resemblance between your art and his.
