I got to interview him about ten years ago when he opened a gallery in Santa Fe, N.M. We talked for about two hours. He was absolutely delightful. Said I was the second best interviewer he'd ever had -- and he married the first one. He drew me a little sketch of Pepe le Pew on a piece of notebook paper that said, "J'taime, K.C. Amor, Pepe" which I still have in my "to be framed" folder in my file drawer. he was just as great and funny and ordinary and kind and outrageous as you'd imagine. Truly, truly an original human being. And a joyous one, which is even rarer.
