Wow... What a story indeed... He had some amazing art! I wonder why he wasn't noticed much...
Sad his best friend died, especially in that way...

What kind of fly?
Is it even an insect?

Drew a fly. My bodily emanations and aroma drew a fly to me. It’s a joke.

The Rolling Stones had a vinyl album with a fly on it. I had the version with the actual zipper built into it. Andy Warhol's idea. He made money on it.

But in an artistic way!

Don’t open the zipper ! The stink comes out and the flies swarm you.

@GaryE Andy Warhol made money on his art. Big deal ! Is it really art if the idea is to make money ? That’s just consumerism and hucksterism and capitalism masquerading as something noble. True art cannot be bought.

Wow! Can’t believe this thread started, Scott Kahn has a great history, his paintings have always been unique. Hopefully he continues, his art work is very cool! Surprised anybody heard of him, but very good stuff to say the least.
