My friend, the amazing painter! I wanted to give a nod to a great friend of mine from college, Kit Gentry. He was visiting his family in Michigan so he stopped over for a visit recently, and we had a fun time catching up. Kit lives in Hawaii, and has been an amazing artist ever since we met freshman year at the U of M School of Art. I want you to check out his website, and see how incredible a painter he is.

He didn't know I was mentioning him here, so I don't want to post one of his paintings without his permission. The image is a quick sketch he did of me in class, in about 1988.
