> Hello Professor Nericcio,

> My name is Leah Wimberly and I am in your Robotic, Erotic, Electric
> class. As we are looking over Panter's artwork, it made me think back
> to some previous experiences of mine. I was fortunate enough to have
> met and witnessed the artist Michael Israel perform and my parents
> actually own two of his pieces. I don't know if you are familiar with
> his work, but it is very interesting and I think you would enjoy it
> and appreciate it. Michael Israel paints on large canvases with both
> brushes and his hands, while spinning the canvas in circles, keeping
> people guessing as to what he is actually painting. My family attends
> a charity event every year in Mexico and twice he has attended and
> performed, and each time the audience goes crazy trying to figure out
> what he is painting. Normally, the music he is playing hints at the
> subject matter, but it is extremely hard to tell. I have witnessed him
> paint Muhammed Ali, Teemu Selanne, the Stanley Cup, Marilyn Monroe,
> the Beatles, and my favorite was John Lennon. He is, in my eyes, a
> fabulous artist and based on what I have learned of you from class, I
> think you would like his art too. Here is a video of him performing. I
> hope you enjoy! It really is like nothing I have ever seen before.
