Spotted a magazine cover of Jean-Michel Basquiat in the grocery store last week and obviously had to have it, even though it was $15 damn dollars and I’m making peanuts at two part time jobs that don’t even add up to 1 half-time job.

Look at that face. I luff him.

Vanity Fair’s Art and Artists 2015/16 Special Edition, which I resolved to read by Friday and review shortly after. But I was put off to start, they start out with an article about a poll they did of 100 artists and art tastemakers on the most important living artists…in 2013. I guess it’s really a 2015/16 collection of articles that have appeared in VF – it includes many articles by Ingrid Sischy, who died in July 2015. And it says “display until February 2016” so for all I know it’s been on display for 6 months.

I hate narrowing down lists so I know it would be hard to pick 100 people to ask but I had my issues with those they asked (only 54 of whom participated). I am tempted to come up with a list of people I’d like to ask who I should look out for. So, not who is most (or least) anything, but who are you – someone I admire – interested in, excited about, wanting to share. Things rumbling in the brain, more soon.
