There are rules and people will follow them. Petitions to ban me from the Bywater and from Oak Street represent a comic attempt to tread water in a sinking submarine. It's almost adorable.

Look at how I can get you.

Now Maybe You Have Not Heard

BUT I AM IN THE CENTER OF POWER.

Sometimes you see me everywhere and sometimes you just know I am around.

The city crawls with ones like me and we are winning.

Artists paint where I paint and whether it stays or goes is all part of a much greater social, political, and artistic masterpiece.

The Gray Ghosts produce. The enemies of the Gray Ghosts have been conditioned by the fallacy of creativity so they are incapable of productivity's dictatorial individualism.
(Though soon power will covet their calories)

It is possible to emulate the Real Gray Ghost. There is no fear of impostors. Some pieces of mine are already in your neighborhood, sometimes on your house, sometimes in your newspaper, and sometimes on your television.

The creative class of New Orleans can try to run with me in an arms race if they want. However, if they think they're better stocked than me and they attack my artwork with reckless abandon, the best they can achieve is an easily fixable splotch on my canvass.

Other New Orleans "artists" will soon be forced to realize that what they're doing just really isn't worth anything.
