Hey Dan:

"I am betting, this guy was not a musician, and never showed his art to anyone. I bet he went to work, then went home and created his alter egos. And I guess he went to the record store some too.
So did any one see "The Throne" at the National Portrait Gallery. I don't know if it's still on display somewhere, but I saw it there in the 80's. The story, as I recall, was this postman went home every night for years, and worked on this incredible alter he was making in his garage. He had a whole religious world view that was driving his work. As I recall it was not discovered until his death."
The posters below are currently on display in the main lobby of the museum and Mike's records are one floor up from the The Throne.
Incredible.

About half way through the conversation and this is some pretty cool stuff. What a character Mike is. Would love to see the original thread and responses to his artwork. Also thank you Raj for this site im very thankful that you decided to breath new life into it instead of throwing in the towel. I will make most definitely make an effort to post more instead of just lurking.
