Really love this show and enjoyed your thoughts and views. In case you didn't notice, the words from the Sydney James painting are a Scheherazade Washington Parrish poem--in-person you'll see her read that and then look up and stare at the audience for ten or so seconds.
Note--Scheherazade will be reading from her poetry at an event called Brain Candy that I host Monday from 7-9 p.m. at Green Brain Comics in Dearborn. Beyond that, Ryan Brady Herberholz will be displaying some of his painting work and discussing it, Aubri Adkins will read some of her prose and David Simon will play four songs through the time period. The event is free (and done monthly, the third Monday of each month at that location and time).
Thanks Dan. I did notice the credit to Scheherazade Washington Parrish's poem noted in the bottom right of the placard in Sydney James' subject's hands. I love how these artists reference each other in their work.
Your event sounds fantastic! I'm definitely going to try and make that. Is Brain Candy at regular intervals? How do I, we, get notices for upcoming events?
Shoot me an email at wickettd@yahoo.com and I'll put your email address on the list. It's regular, every third Monday of the month. It ran for 22 months up until last March and this is our first time back after 16 months of covid dormancy.

Will do. Looking forward to future events. Thanks Dan!
