<DIV>I am someone who has an intimate knowledge, and involvement, in the
work of Joe Frank. So I would counsel the breathless audiorate (my word)
to not place so much faith in the public way. Joe is no capitalist trying
to suck your money from you if you care to be nourished by his creative
output, but an artist whose work is not supported by the Eisners and Weinsteins
and other networks of America who bring you shit for free. Joe is a bit
like Mr. Gurdjieff, who could buy an old rug and fix it and make a life for his
followers in a strange city, complete with a nice paprika chicken. But the
followers must be willing to give what needs to be given to
support the teaching. Send as much as you can to wherever you can
find the Frankian paradigm, or, if not, then burn him down like all the rest of
the false gods you've run from.</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
