@ronthroop is one of those artists living the Good life, although not in a NYC loft. Here's one of the first of his recent posts. Have you read him yet? I'm a big fan.
I'm in love with Carmen Cicero.
I lived as a dancer in NYC starting in the late 70's. I visited some of these lofts. They were phenomenal. Back when many artists could support themselves without day jobs.
Thanks for tagging him, he has a new follower! It's amazing to me how many people have been on here for years that I"ve never crossed paths with. I'm going to share his profile with my artist friend (@luckyfellow) too.
When I was writing this post I was wondering if you had met any of these artists! Cicero's story was inspiring, as was the other woman's. I liked his art better. I can't even imagine how much fun it was to be young in the city during that time.
