I have more geeks than any artist in the valley aksing for art for free. PAINS!!!!!of Cat Scratch Fever! Little Geekies learn faster that way and they like it with their litte cat ears purring. I am one of the founding boardmembers ot the Art & Technology Society International ... infact we started it right in my art studio. It is a very loosely knit group of artists and technologists who are creating for a better world. The founder has moved back to Silly Icon I hear of late. Most of my art sells from Galleries but you cannot believe all you read. We just send the information over the net. So your attempt to shift my market is laughable and only makes the art worth more. Thanks Press is Press...! One thing more I went out tieh a Netscpae Geek the other nite. I told him all the free art and artistic time Geeks in this valley had the nerve to ask for...for FREE!.... and He was embarrassed for you all....Especially Digital Equiptment Corporation...he was gla to be at Netscape but I have yet to check on their cultural report card....Digitals... record of giving to the visual arts in Silly Icon Valley is awful! Mattison Fitzgerald Artist Wheels Squeak!
