Re: Hi!

(to Mama Buzz Cafe, Oakland:)

i'm an artist living in berkeley. i discovered your cafe while fliering for my live performance/workshop up-coming. i just read that the cops have shut down your live performances. that is outrageous! we need more live venues, not less!

i also do oil paintings. i painted them with a brush attached to a hard hat because i have cerebral palsy. you can see my paintings at http://www.eroplay.com/Cave/painting-slideshow/paintings.html. i would love to have a painting show at you cafe. is that possible?

here is my painting resume:

Oh my god Frank I love your paintings. Wish I could afford one.
Would you be into trading a piece for a piece?

well, we don't really part with my oils [well, for less than $55,000]...partly because i haven't done oils for 35 years. BUT i would do a digital painting for you. will you pick a photo of the subject you desire a painting of, or should i jam?
