It's just that I found your personal agenda and your taste & judgment in posting her personal information even more unpleasant and disturbing - if that is possible - than his "artwork." No, I'm not a friend of Maria. I'd never heard of any of you before reading the melodrama in your blog. So you might want to re-think your tone and kinds of stuff you're posting - I got all my perception of the situation from that. Re-read my post: I did indeed comment on his paintings.

It makes the "artist" sound like a pathetic dishrag who is alternately motivated by greed and led around by his dick, and the "che" person comes off as this amazing sensual woman who has an almost hypnotic hold over the artist. As you noted above, I love the way they paint the sugar mama as a horrible evil Mrs. Robinson seductress. The artist just *had* to have an affair with her. He had no choice! It's all her fault! Perhaps his next series of paintings should be called "Involuntary Infidelity" Yeah, that sounds about right.

Incidentally, I suspect the blogger (Grigio) is actually the ex-girlfriend (Valevortex's "Che") that the paintings are supposedly about. I'm guessing that her motivation is to inflate the paintings' value with her long-winded puffery in an attempt to make them appear to have some significance other than that of bad amateur porn. Otherwise why would she have so much venom against the new girlfriend? Soap opera is right. The thing I can’t get over is that he’s in his 30s but he paints like he’s in his teens.

It's one part soap opera and one part pretentious babble which is attempting to help us understand the tortured mind of the artist. (I didn't care enough about either to finish reading it!) You know who probably bought all those paintings? The art directors for that CBS show Criminal Minds. They needed some set props for a serial killer's lair in an upcoming episode!

No, these paintings are not “pretty good.” Aside from some interesting use of color they are exactly the type of thing I would expect from a sexually-frustrated 14-year-old boy with a personality disorder. Their only value I can see (aside from wank-material for said disturbed teen) is possibly as art-therapy… in other words it’s certainly preferable for Valevortex to be creating crappy amateur porn than molesting the neighbor kids or torturing animals. No, what really disturbs me is Grigio’s vindictive and possibly libelous posting of the personal information of the woman who Grigio snidely refers to as Valevortex’s “sugar mama.” In fact Grigio has devoted several blog entries to slandering her. How is it any of Grigio’s business? More, why does she even care? It almost makes me think the whole story is a front to give Grigio an excuse to badmouth someone she has a personal grudge against. In any case, her posts about Maria D. (including Maria’s age, work websites, and other personal data) strike me as being unbelievably inappropriate. Oh, one other thing… the issue Grigio supposedly has with Maria is that she “stole” Valevortex away from his ex-girlfriend. Why is Grigio blaming her and not Valevortex? If he’s a cheater who picked up with someone new for money, sex, fame, good connections, or any other reason, that’s HIS fault. It’s asinine to lay all (or even most) of the blame on the “other woman.” Whether or not Maria knew he was already in a relationship, 90% of the blame belongs to HIM. So while I question Grigio’s taste in art, I question her judgment (and motives) even more. Wow, what a load of crap.
