His main teacher was Jean-Leon Gerome, academic par excellence, and it's not much of a stretch to suppose that the Geromes and Bouguereaus he saw, with their pale, continuously rounded flesh (tubular, in a way) and their meticulous highlights, influenced the "Tubism" of his maturing style.

After The Breeders and rehab, Deal effectively restarted her career. She had the Deal legacy to build on, but decided anyway to start her own label in an effort to define herself as Kelley Deal, apart from her identity as an ex-Breeder. Ross is the only roadie. As a nascent label, Nice Records can't afford a palatial tour bus. They drive around the country in a comfortable RV that was parked around...
