Marshall McLuhan was a great admirer of the artists and spent a great deal of time with them. I am proud to consider myself as a artist and quite possibly my greatest gift. I have learned so much from the hundreds of artists who have inspired me both emotionally and intellectually and even given me a belief in humanity simply because these beautiful minds exist. I am especially thankful for the inspiration and example of these artists who remind me of how great and important it is to want to be there for the other guy!
