Lester Van Winkle was my favorite teacher when I was at VCU (the holy trinity was him, Nancy Roeder, and James Bumgartner). He was challenging, engaging and all in all a real approachable teacher. I still use stories I learned from him today at my day job when I’m trying to ply more ideas out of the creative team. That said, I really wanted to love LVW’s work. I like it quite a bit, but I don’t love it and thats a shame I still think the show is worth checking out – I know I’ll be going again. You should too.
hey – i just got a print by him at diversity thrift today for fifteen bucks. it is nice to hear you talk about your favorite teachers.
lucky you – thats a bargin. The fan thrift stores are so good – it’s almost scary.
