Ok look. I've sat in Jims living room while he drew the des lee art. It was and alway will be his alt signature. Jim had a few of them. He needed another one for his traditional canvas work because he used his real name for the skunkworks stuff. You can sell someone a painting of a city and have them google your name to see skunk butt. And the des lee pseudonym was for the parody stuff. Just like Eric use to use TDK. But the fact you guys press this issue so hard is driving me nuts. Just let the man rest ffs. He was one of my best friends and it was insanely hard to lose him. Just let this damn subject move on.

Jim couldn't make IRC work so he called me and while we worked on that we talked for a good long time.
