These artifacts and art works enlightens my view on a brand new world. I'm far too narrow sighted when it comes to the see the world in a broad viewpoint. Many thanks to your creations and appreciations for the intellectual ideologies and social issues in our country.

I found Patrick's artwork deeply moving. It stirred similar emotions in me as Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing, which I regard as one of the greatest films ever made. I hope Patrick creates a social media account like Instagram so I can follow his work.

Glenn, Brilliant work and art. Reminds me that God breathed grace and talent into everyone and can even make a NYC cop a Picasso.

If I’m in the company of people like Patrick in our admiration for Glenn (and John), then I’m doing okay.

Btw, as someone from NYC, I can really appreciate Patrick’s art. And it is certainly that.

I appreciate the selection of paintings. I was caught where he said "I am not an academic or intellectual" since when are artists not intellectual. Factors which continue to keeps folks out of academia are sad and unintelligible indeed, as such folks would not only enhance that environment, but bring it forth in enlightenment. We are boarding idiots with money in our Universities/Colleges, and the only paper they are graduating with is entitlement.

Where's Bill and Hillary? Is she still editing Gutsy?

Where's W and Laura? Is he still searching for WMD?

Where's Barack and Michelle? Is he busy writing an Emmy acceptance speech?

Where's The Donald and Melania? Is he busy hosting the Saudi tournament golfers?

Here we have 28 years of American leadership way too busy to address the violence in our American cities. Some of them helped create the problem. Some of them didn't have a pot to piss in until they found politics and wealth. Here's the very least they can do.

They can showcase Patrick Alexis' work and discuss his imagery.

America needs to see and hear more from Patrick Alexis.

Glenn, thank you for sharing him with us.

The fact that Patrick is a police detective (in NYC, no less) lends additional heft to his - spot on - approbation for Glenn et al., as well as his (Patrick's) compelling and personal art perspective(s).

How moving to read that Glenn's work helps this man get through difficult days as a law enforcement officer in our most populous city; powerful stuff.

I, too, will watch/listen to Glenn's shows more than once if need be; sometimes because the information is just . . . too much to be contemplated at one sitting, and sometimes because I've cued up one of Glenn's brilliant "rants" for my wife to marvel at (and enjoy).

Clearly Glenn's brain doesn't truly engage until his heart rate hits a certain threshold, and then game the hella on!
