phillip go rent art school confidential…apparently it is an unintentional documentary

I think jody and phillip both have untapped writing potential….as jody stated it is the disipline ….that often separates ability and performance in this regard

phillip has a day job?

He has said that I'd probably be a good painter if I tried it. I don't know where he got that idea from. I think Phillip has the talent, though.

They look like something. A six-year-old monkey with one eye and no arms could paint better than me. It'd be fun to try to paint something with real oil paints on a real canvas, something big that can handle gobs of paint thrown at it in frustration and/or creative ecstasy. That'd be fun. The scans of these paintings are about 6 times larger than the index cards we painted them on. I like Jenny’s the most. They look like something.

I thought "Wow, he never mentioned that he was a painter-type artist but I shouldn't be surprised." And I thought they were quite good. Creativity erupts from you in all sorts of ways...
