special dedication: jose parla "reading through seeing"

jose parla rules! and so does his incredible new catalogue "reading through seeing" which arrived on my doorstep today. let me tell you, there is nothing quite as cool as receiving a special dedication from any creative individual concerning a particular career accomplishment. it reminds me how important it is to appreciate life and the milestones that continue to present themselves on a day-to-day basis. that's kind of how i feel about jose's work, its super-poignant and these flashes of color and texture make me want to learn about art and history and technique and, in short, jose is like some modern-day messiah of sorts, a real artist with a real outlook on life. respect, bravo and merci to jose!!
