Chapter 57

My collages had a few big shows in downtown Tulsa. The Stolid Art Gallery on Chelton Street showed my work about once a year and kept in touch with my agent about displaying my pieces. Mike Bollard, a rotund, badass smoker with shark-like skills, had never let me down. We worked well together, and he always got me enough shows that I’ve never had to dig into my Hollywood Money. He man had my back and worked constantly with The Stolid to show my work and earn money for me. We did our best together, worked hard, and rarely argued.
