So just a week or so ago I was talking about John and how I got to meet him at Book Soup. He was signing his newest art book entitled, “A Fine Example of Art”. He was a really nice and sweet person, very unlike the typical “Painter’s persona”. At the time, John was telling me that he has a neurological disorder and hasn’t been able to paint or act much lately. Here is a great LA Weekly article about John and his art and his battle to overcome his disorder:

John once let Basquiat sleep on his floor….to me both their work are both brilliant examples of amazing art.
