Vizel
the artist
Vizel hasn't left his studio in five years. Produces all kinds of
works, from unplayable musical instruments to watercolors to
conceptual art, jotted down in strips of paper and baked into ceramic
fortune cookies. Everything accumulates in a warehouse three times
the size of the Hearst castle. Has a permanent retrospective show, the
only one he's ever done. It is about 17 years out of date, and will
probably always will be. It's outlived 4 curators. The show is updated
every other week.

born to an antiquarian and the mistress of a european dictator, of a
country that no longer exists. He taught himself to read with works of
Baudelaire Ducasse, Poe, an Swedenborg. Also the family Chronicles of
Fernando de Alva Ixtlilxochitl, a spanish nobleman who also was a
Native American Other than that, he started painting at 15 and has not
stopped since.
the beret
It's a medieval skullcap or a WWI pilot's cap.
Quotes from Vizel:"Could you repeat that again one more time
