Back in the summer of 1980, I first started becoming a serious artist, painting, Heaven forbid, watercolors on looseleaf paper in Arleta, California. I found the mediuim to be supremely liberating and even after trying out standard "arteest" watercolor paper, I prefer looseleaf paper for many reasons. I might also add that art on looseleaf paper has graced the walls of MOMA in NYC. It sucks that I have to defend my art, but such is life in 2003. If I was the son of some Hollywood movie star, things might be different for me. Oh well. I am inspired when I paint. If inspired work is passe', just shoot me.
