Wow… a busy three days have zoomed by over here in the far west. In chronological order (I’m influenced by an art historian here…) it looked like this…celebrate Jim’s birthday (and it was a major one…) have breakfast with artists…good talk, good breakfast… go get LAST (5th) cast removed, into “the boot”, and actually SEE […]

I’m Rolling!
Well, sort of… Here’s my new best friend Hugo… and today was my first day out…(though I went to the dentist and a meeting, so not really a GLAMOROUS day out…but, a day out all the same.) And a day out on my feet for the first time since December 4th. In between I went […]
Manuel Izquierdo: Almost Ready
Meanwhile, over at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, the Manuel Izquierdo sculpture show (“Myth, Nature and Renewal”) that R has been working on for most of 2 years, is coming together at a rapid pace, and is going to be stunning…here are a few “behind the scene photos… …and then today…TA DA…the book has […]

The Manuscript Arrives!!!
Writing a book is a long and often arduous process…in R’s case a lot of fact-checking and just sitting and thinking, talking with friends/relatives/colleagues of the subject, arranging for photos to be taken, talking to collectors…LONG. But there are a few terrifically exciting moments and one such is the day the proofs arrive…TODAY for instance. […]
Friday Was Neighborhood Day…
Friday I stayed pretty much in the neighborhood, but luckily this is a neighborhood with fun stuff happening…neighbor and book artist Ann Kresge agreed to do a quick tutorial for me on a couple of basic book formats, before I go off to California for my week at the Lost Coast Culture Machine with Carolyn […]
Thursday was ART day…
And Thursday began wistfully, as I had to take down my show WHICH… I thought looked smashing (she said modestly…) but…time marches on and they have to sweep up and return the key to the space on Saturday so… …off we went, with a car full of art, as usual… and later on to […]
