Verna: “Yes, I’m stil working on a biography for this stupid blog, stop pushing me.

“Meanwhile, Paul Lafolley. I ran across mention of this very unique artist (long with Joe Coleman) in “The Book of Lies: The Disinformation Guide to Magic and the Occult” (go to a web based booksite and look for ISBN 097139427X). Lafolley is one of those obsessive detail guys whose work you can go over with a magnifying glass for hours.

The best source to start with is his Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Laffoley) (with all the usual disclaimers about Wikipedia…).

I thought this guy was very fascinating, and I yearned to see a piece of his work closer to the size he originally created it. A little clip in a book was not near satisfying enough.

At the Kent Gallery (http://kentgallery.com/artibio.htm) you can order a very large poster of either of two of his works, part of the money will go to a catalogue raisonne they are trying to prepare of his work. I have one and it hurts my brain to look at it.
