Well, I got through to your address because I saw one of your lists of paintings somewhere, in a magazine, I don't remember which one. I am quite interested in it, as a matter of fact I am a visual artist myself, not a painter though, but more a sculptor you could say, although I also make films, music and performances. Why I am particularly interested is because I'm interested in art as well as in crime, much of my artworks are related to crime, for a recent exhibition I made a number of replicas of ED GEIN artefacts, do you know him, he used to dig up corpses and make masks, aprons, soup-bowls and lamp-shades out of human skin and skulls. I made facial masks in artificial skin, a pair of gloves in latex-rubber casted of my hands, a lamp-shade of foot-soles etc. Other sculptures included a live-size ready-for-use Guillotine, a home-made version of an electric chair and portraits of famous killers; THE BOSTON STRANGLER, LANDRU, MYRA HYNDLEY, OSWALD, PETER MANUEL,... Until now you haven't been included, maybe for another show...

As I understand you make paintings, what do they look like, and more, what made you make paintings at all? It is my opinion tha there are similarities between artists and criminals, both are driven by uncontrollable urges, are known by their 'style' and often are very skilled in performing their task. COLIN WILSON, an English writer, calls both 'schizoid types' or 'outsiders', amongst scientists, inventors, philosophers and writers.

As far for now, I hope to have a soon reply from you, I'll include a Reply Coupon in case you're short of stamps.
