    Sorry if I gave the impression that I don't recognise the value of
    art..nothing could be further from my intention.When I speak of
    artists I mean people such as William Blake, Van Gogh, Rembrandt,
    Renoir, D.H.Lawrence, Dylan Thomas, Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Dali,
    Hemingway, Coleridge, Leonardo, Michaelangelo,  Vonnegut, Brautigan,
    Bernard Leach, John Updike, James Joyce,William MorrisI could go on.
    If the artists of your acquaintance are of similar stature, then I
    bow to your opinion..and to be defined  as a Republic-style
    Platonist is a new experience for me, since I've never had a "real
    job" myself nor have I fitted into any version of "society" in any
    "useful" way ;-)) In the end I don't really care how people define
    themselves. I simply have observed that many who regard themselves as
    artists rather than craftsmen, are unable or unwilling to actually
    earn their living by their work...either because they don't want
    money,or don't need itmaybe the self-styled artists in Ibiza are
    different, I dunno. So ultimately I suppose it comes down to the
    difference between your experience of artists and 
    mine..p.s. I think your work is absolutely amazing... Steve
