One of my most favorite quotes dismissing pomo and intellectual narcissism in contemporary art....the manifesto format really hurts their point, but I'll bite. Visually and philosophically, I pretty much dig the stuckists.

Hi Heady, glad to see that you take an interest in Stuckism. Let me know if I can answer any questions you might have about my work or The Miami Stuckists, I'd love to share ideas.

Thanks for the props! Always nice when a piece of debris I drunkenly painted a clown on years ago turns up enshrined on the blogosphere.
