Farewell Ultra Violet. Your career was so long and amazing. You were always so beautiful. Yet for all the achievements of the past, you kept your focus on the future. I hope we can follow your lead and make art that moves us into a brighter, more “Ultra Violet” future.

Oh no! You lived almost 3 times as long as me, but it’s still so short! You always said such kind things about my downfall. Somehow you were a deep, rich part of that crazy 60’s scene, but unlike myself and others, you found a way to survive and be so creative for so long. We’ll miss you, but we’ll never forget you.
