I have the feeling the only way it's going to happen is if we hack into his harddrive and download the contents. :) Carel,

My own personal favorite aspect of your work is your skill at reconstructing creatures from small pieces of fossil information and a vast wealth of knowledge. Lots of artists can recreate what's in front of their face, but it's a tiny fraction of those who have all the skills to do what you do. ...and yeah, when DO you release a coffee table book?

"I wish I could write with the sensitivity of that Kip Marlowe"? Whatever. Seriously, Van Kempen's work is lovely, but me personally I'll take your composition and lightheartedness over his pigment handling any day. Maybe it's just the limitations of my computer screen (and I admit I didn't fully get what was so great about O'Keefe until I saw her stuff hanging on a wall, so I'm willing to change my tune), but I actually don't see the difference in pigment use between you two. But I've always been all about the composition anyway. So, uh, when do you release a coffee table book? What’s that you say, Will? “I wish I could write with the sensitivity of that Kip Marlowe”?

It's nothing to get hyperventilating about;, but hell, wonder and awe gets boring after awhile. A surfeit of richness tends to make you throw up. Your pigments fit what you do, and in this world where dazzle and distract are the order of the day, that is something to celebrate. Carl, your color work does the job.
