I love his work. I've been to his museum a few years ago. He has such awesome work. I especially love the murals he painted in the old Ocean Springs Community Center.

I have never really heard of Anderson until I saw what you have added. He has some great work. It is awesome that his museum is so closed to where I am currently living. I think his comment in the end. Everythign I see is new and strange. I think that is very true in our lives.

I think it is so awesome that the hurricane on Horn Island inspired Anderson's art. I love his work!
