Email exchange 13.05.20: NYC artist Karen Finley has accepted my Facebook friendship request after several years. Her "psychic" drawings, including one called "God Is A Woman" inspired me to draw more freely and to trust my own 'style'.

It's when she draws without looking at anything, just quickly and from her head, usually with text. This work inspired my terrible God Is Een Vrouw-painting sent to Tracey Emin (and then her sending it back to me!): https://tisch.nyu.edu/art-publ...; https://www.abebooks.com/signe... Oh no (because of what it would do to my bank account), it's even for sale as a poster signed!! I would love this and might ask her if I could buy one from her directly... – SMW.

The pages are yellowed and cracked with age. Dutch Curator Erik Hagoort gave SMW a few huge boxes of these French gay liberation magazines from the 80s, and SMW intuitively started painting on them. There are many more than those listed in the archive.
“I had to throw away a lot of these, there were also Dutch gay liberation magazines in the boxes Erik Hagoort gave me, called ‘De Verkeerde Krant’ or so, (‘van de verkeerde kant’ was a Dutch saying for a queer person) but due to storage I could not keep everything as a resource to use. There are hundreds of these painted drawings, and they get quite a good response. Paul Thek = newspaper paintings, Karen Finley = same as Paul Thek, Erik Hagoort is the partner of Dutch artist Albert van Westing and AA Bronson showed a fondness for the drawings.” – SMW.
