...are you for real?

So the other night I was on the internet, or looking at a book or staring out the window, or dreaming. I can't remember which. I remembered this beautiful little submarine that I had seen at a gallery in Kansas City several years ago. It took me a while but I remembered the artists name, and I also remembered that I'd met him once or twice and was always amazed by his work. Well I looked him up and there he was, teaching somewhere in Maine. I wrote him a long rambling email, told him about an experience that I'd had years ago about meeting a guy who had these incredible model boats, one of the Titanic that lit up... and how when I went back to look for him again he was gone, his place was gone his town was gone. I'd been haunted by that for years- still am.

Anyway, Randy just sent me a beautiful email (when was the last time you heard someone call an email beautiful?) He's working on an installation for a little town in Maine, and I'm really tempted to go up there and see it.

Here's his website. And that's the sub in question. I wish I would have bought it when I had the chance...
