I would send Craig fan mail but his email address is not valid. I would go to a show, but he hasn't listed any. Craig Roy is a true artist....he doesn't want to be found, he leaves no trace, he hurls his greatness into the universe and leaves before it rains down on his own head. :-) cre8ivebrat@yahoo.com
