Bernie Brillstein
Brian D. Nikki Finke writes a fine obituary for Bernie Brillstein, the Hollywood super-agent who has died at the age of 77. As you can see from the clients and projects he was associated with, Brillstein may have done more than anyone else to shape the direction of comedy, particularly television comedy, in the ’70s and ’80s; lining up a lot of talented young performers and writers as clients, he perfected the art of “packaging” a series, not only seeing it through the development process but filling it with his own clients (especially writers) and getting an executive producer credit on the finished show. This not only was lucrative, since he owned a piece of the show as well as a cut of the money from the clients who worked on the show, but it gave the shows their own style that was associated with Brillstein and his clients, an ironic, stupid-smart type of comedy that was simultaneously more highbrow and lowbrow than the type of comedy that prevailed in TV ...

IMAGE BY TIM ANDERSON “That’s something that I believe has changed in the last 15 years,” said Tim Anderson, the former SLO Art Center curator whose drawings will be featured at the center through August 17. “There are now contemporary artists whose entire body of work is drawing. I think it’s become a little more acceptable. Before Anderson began drawing his images, in which a head of broccoli lazily floats past a smiling worm—or so it seems to the viewer—he created allegorical paintings steeped in symbolism and political commentary. And before that he was, of all things, a history student. After college Anderson moved to Los Angeles with the intention of becoming a big name in the gallery scene. Instead he ran a frame shop, and painted out of a studio in his garage. Eventually, Anderson needed to repurpose his garage, and he found himself without a studio.
