After that, they can move you unless you have living family members that care enough to pay and renew the lease.<br /><br />That part stresses me out the most.Marcus Adamshttp://www.madewithpassion.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555295961358558347.post-21416138883744740182009-08-25T12:43:27.246-04:002009-08-25T12:43:27.246-04:00Dear Richard the Lionhearted,
We laughed our head...Dear Richard the Lionhearted,<br /><br />We laughed our heads off at your Blog on your future demise. Primo deadpan humor. Consider consulting an acting coach in order to develop a distinctive "Cough" one that uses the diaphragm effectively so that the "Cough" can echo loudly in any venue. Cough loudly at openings, preferably in front of your own paintings, develop a pallor, talk to yourself in public (Sort of a Plein Air Facebook.) These techniques will all be suggestive of your descent into madness, ill health and the inevitable closing of the "Factory" Don't go too far with the pallor palette or it may invoke a Vampire vibe; their factory never closes because they are of course - immortal. Imagine the fate of a Vampire artist; they can never paint "Plein Air" and they can never use the same model twice. Their work never goes up in value. The collector of a Vampire artist's work has a lot at "Stake."<br />Richard, you are a wonderful writer and artist - please keep painting and writing.<br />Keith and Margaret KleinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555295961358558347.post-10637514344394273662009-08-24T14:40:07.923-04:002009-08-24T14:40:07.923-04:00I must agree with Keith.

Maybe we negotiate a mutually beneficial date for your demise?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15205513002448039591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4555295961358558347.post-24428071208506515582009-08-23T23:56:28.731-04:002009-08-23T23:56:28.731-04:00I already have some of your artwork but since you&...I already have some of your artwork but since you're planning to die after me, it will do me no good.
