My wondrous agent, Rubin Pfeffer, and the inimitable Carter Higgins
Meeting Elana K. Arnold (there are no words to describe how wonderful she is), writer of the picture book I'm presently illustrating.
Two Birthday Celebrations
Yes, it is still my birthday. Ms Mushly treated me to lunch at Vanida Thai, after which we visited Anne in her gallery. Later, Carmen celebrated her 12th birthday. There she is trying to decide which of her presents to open first.

FOG Photos
One of my very favorite jobs is taking photos at FOG. I love taking portraits of the artists at their opening parties. Yesterday Paige Laverty's show, All Things Ocean, opened. Last month, Joseph Zirker (below, age 94) showed his joyful work. The hardest part is keeping the artists occupied while I strive to get their art somewhat square with my iPhone. I now have a collection of thirty different FOG artists. Some recent ones:
Joe Zirker is presently working on a show scheduled two years from now.
Jeffrey Nemeroff at the opening of his show. Doesn't his hair look like a wave?

Another great book recommended by Barbara L. ...Not only is the writing incredible, but the story takes place in my neighborhood!
