grrrr...!!!

So Troy Schulze decided to take me on by bashing my essay for an exhibit at Vine Street Studios "Red Velvet". Read his review here and my essay here. I don't care if you read either one, but I would like to ask if you might take a moment to help me fuck with this writer. Or if you agree with him, then why not write a letter agreeing with him? The more the merrier!


Email the Houston Press! Send a letter to the editor. They'll print it! I sent one already, but I sure could use your help! Wanna see mine? it's nice and sarcastic.


Dear Houston Press,

I find it flattering that I was so compelling in my essay "Red Velvet" that Troy Schulze found it useful to print large portions in his review "Disrobed". I am sorry he disagreed with my premise with such hostility, but a strong reaction is always the best reception a writer can hope for. I take exception to his characterization of Whitney Riley's paintings, "insipidness as a nurturing entity", and I believe the artist intended to mock didactic stereotypes of women today with her absurd juxtapositions of bikini-clad models and domestic interiors. Though he may write a bit concretely for art criticism; good luck with the journalism, Troy.
