Garth Herrick American Artist Interview

[Chris Saper]

Dear Garth,

I was delighted to open my email today to find your taped interview with American Artist Magazine on line! I am so thrilled for you! This a wonderful opportunity for people to see you and your work, and to hear about your process.

From there, you'll be able to find an ongoing step-by-step.

Congratulations, Garth

Congratulations, Garth! The interview is great--just like you. You made some excellent points. I'm still waiting for my copy of AA to come in the mail, but from reading your copy quickly I think it's a great article. The reproductions are such good quality, too.

[Allan Rahbek]

It's so great to see you, Garth, you are a fine ambassador for what we are trying to do.

[Linda Brandon]

Wow, Garth! (I have yet to see my own copy - I can't wait to get it.). So good to hear that you are getting all this attention - I am so happy for you.

[Julie Deane]

Congratulations, Garth! I got to see the advance copy at the conference, and it's a great article. Well deserved....

[Garth Herrick]

I'm beginning to wonder, who is this guy in the video interview? Maybe I should ask if he knows me. He looks somehow familiar.

Kidding aside, it's very strange to watch oneself for the first time in a video. At first viewing I actually covered my eyes whenever I spoke something. Half a day later I watched it again, and on balance it seems okay as a portrayal and in intent.

Thank you Chris, for alerting us and linking this, and thanks, Alex (who telephoned me), Alan, and Linda, all my good friends. Alan, I wonder if American Artist is available at news stands outside of the U.S.?

I am still trying to get accustomed to this developing fledgling publicity. I think M. Stephen Doherty did a fine job with my interview, and focusing our conversation, for which I am grateful. I have just embedded this interview as a new addition on the video page on my web site (a work in progress); but by all means, pay American Artist a direct visit.

I have turned the tables and added three images of Mr. Doherty interviewing me; the last is him on my computer! He did not wear a bow-tie as is usual, but in a strangely random happenstance we wore the same clothes except his shirt was green and mine was gray.

All the best,

Garth

Dear Julie, thanks! It was great to meet you in person. I had my 50 ordered copies of (June) American Artist Magazines shipped and delivered right before the PSOA Conference got going last week. In fact, I did not even read the article (page 37) until I got there and sat in the (Philadelphia) Sheraton lobby.

Many of the quotations attributed to me are enhanced and more articulate than I could ever mutter on my own. Some reproductions are a little dark and murky, but I must say I could not ask for a better write-up by Mr. Doherty.

Garth,
I will see if I can get it in

The video interview was wonderful Garth! I can't wait for subsequent additions.

I am wondering if there is a way to save the interview onto ones computer. My phone line connection is excruciatingly slow. It took me about four hours to download, a chore which will have to repeated every time I try to revisit it. It would be so helpful to be able to save it on my hard drive but I have never been able to do that with Flash downloads. Do any of you computer buffs have any suggestions?

[Michele Rushworth]

Fantastic, Garth! I also enjoyed looking at the print article at the PSA conference -- it had excellent reproductions, too.

Also, for those of you who didn't know, Garth won an award in the "best portfolio" competition, too -- well deserved!

It was great to see you, Garth, and thanks again for the ride to Alex's place.
