  • Comment: Any ideas for a catchier hook welcome

  • DYK checks:
    1. Article is new (on the 5th), long enough, sourced, and appears to be policy-compliant
    2. Hook length is fine, but as suggested, it's not quite catchy enough. Is there something that you can explain why exhibiting at Salon at the age of 21 is interesting? Alternatively, perhaps that mural commission at age 19 is something more catchier (getting that type of work/recognition at a young age being the catch).
    3. QPQ good; image is properly licensed and free, and appropriate for subject.
  • If the hook can be improved this should be ok. --MASEM (t) 17:24, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
I can't think of any other possibilities. He seems to have had rather a dull (but very successful) life. Aymatth2 (talk) 18:43, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
  • I believe ALT2 is sufficiently catchy as the hook, everything else is ready to go. --MASEM (t) 20:37, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
