The Coolest Possible Response To Having All Your Art Work Absconded With By A Brigand In Tokyo

| | Comments (4)

From The New Yorker:

After his most recent exhibit, at a Tokyo gallery, [Yamataka Eye's] art work was stolen. "This guy just walked in one morning and took it all," Eye told me. Several weeks later, the thief sent Eye a package containing all but five or six works, along with a pair of sandals, some watermelon seeds, and a copy of his will. "We have a picture of him from the security camera, when he stole the stuff," Eye said. "He had a hat on, and he looked really cool. We are going to put his picture on a T-shirt. We have to."

Yes. And I owe you that New Yorker back, so you can read about it.

You don't owe him the NY back, you owe it to me. That's Ryan, I'm Stephen.

Har, har, yes, I realized that just after I posted the dern thing. I have it awaiting you, Commander Steve. I'm sure I own Ryan something, so the comment still applies, in genera if not specifica.
