RIP Reverend Perkins. And may you be in heaven an hour before the devil knows you're dead

Artist, social provocateur, and American mystic Reverend Seymour Perkins died yesterday evening about 7 p.m. -- sad news relayed by San Angel Folk Art, which represented Perkins. We'll miss his unannounced office visits, his revelations and instructions -- written in longhand -- about his underground cities and the divine retribution headed this way with his tormentors' names in hand. Our hearts go out to his family, along with the hope that they're comforted by the thought that he's now in a place where his admirers will far outnumber his detractors.
