I was traversing a list of contributors to Boing Boing and your named leaped out as one I recognized. I read several of your novels years ago when I discovered "cyberpunk" fiction. I didn't know you were into painting, too, which I love. Obviously I'm catching up with your career. Your software offerings are of great interest. I'll bookmark your site and look forward to many returns. Very best wishes.... I’m pleased at having encountered your website in the course of looking for something else.

Yup, acrylic dries quickly, so it is much easier to lay down one layer of color on top of the other than it would be with oil. Man, it would be a nice thing if I were able to show some paintings in the SF area. Since I live in Croatia, it wouldn't be very practical to do so any time in the near future. Still, you never can tell where life will lead... Thanks! I like your paintings, too.

Kind of a superpointallist style. I'm thinking you use acrylic? If you ever show these in the SF Bay area, let me know, would be interesting to see them in person.

Just wanted to let you know how greatly I've enjoyed reading the Lifebox, The Seashell and the Soul, and also the Ware Tetrology (I plan to read all of your work, as time permits). I've been interested in many of the ideas covered in those books for some time, but reading them inspired me even further. As a fellow painter, I wanted to share this Moldie-inspired pointillist painting I did, which makes use of lots of scrolling patterns and toys around with ideas related to emergent phenomena, as well (Seriously, the final work wouldn't have come out in quite this way at all, if not for the Ware books): http://www.flickr.com/photos/37535656@N07/5436871311/in/photostream/lightbox/ Sincere thanks for broadening my horizons, man. Yo, Dr. Rucker!

You can print that screen and take it to school. I hope your teacher doesn't expect you to get an original painting on canvas via email! :) --- Rudy R.
