What up, peeps?
Hooked up with the painter Matt Carver today to check out the Basquiat doc The Radiant Child. I really enjoyed it. If you’ve stayed up late at night searching for every piece of film the man has appeared on you’ll recognize much of the footage and many of the photos, but hearing his life story reflected so clearly by those who knew him is revelatory nonetheless.
Thought of an idea for a poem while I was in the theater and I typed this into my Blackberry after tonight’s dinner party.
