    Oh. My. Goodness:
    The tension at the MOMA (!), the dragging out the inventory, the uninformed client–all of it–made for great theatre and awkward laughs.

    So very glad you’re back. Keep ‘em comin’.

    THAT I like. Useless advice: hold the cork, turn the bottle. Fondest wish: an episode about art camp. Bless your h’arts.

    Hi JiYoum,
    Very funny.I would like to write a script for one of your series.I have some great ideas.How about the artist a beautiful Italian women(big breast the hole bit)who wants you to represent her work( black velvet paintings)They are all nudes of her and of course you fall for it.

    I will write the script and do the velvet painting for props.I just love this series.I can even provide the beautiful Italian girl.

    We met a few weeks ago at your gallery.Let me know if you would like to discuss some of my ideas.

    Hi Jim ~ Stephanie told me about her debut, and I have spent an hour-plus laughing to tears watching all the episodes! I’ve forwarded it to my kids (imagine my artist son will get the greatest kick out of it!), family and friends.

    You all are multi-talented, I’m a new fan, such terrific belly laughs!

    OK. Well, these little episodes are apparently all hysterical. Thanks again for the laughs. Jim Kempner, whoever you are, you crack me up. The intro was great, too. Those eyes!!! Those faces!!! Dru is brilliant. I can’t shut the hell up about it.
