Today is the 5th Avenue Festival, strains of music and voices drifting from a few blocks away where it begins. Also the Sonya Studio walk over in Fort Greene, to which I'd planned to go and see some friends and meet a friend of Beth's. But still at home. Had some work that I had… Continue reading not necessarily a day of rest.
If the kernel were (not a colonel) a general, the general is Caesar (swift, sudden and devastating attacks!), my poor iMac is Vercingetorix (doomed!), and his luck has run out– Today it's crossed a threshold and it's utterly unusable– even with nothing running save iTunes, it experienced the panic. I'm waiting to hear from the… Continue reading Vercingetorix wept.
Wolf on the wall Impatient for lunch! (Prince, Dad) Saturday wander, back in Bklyn– Vinegar Hill segment (Kim, brother Jon, Anders, Ben)
Well, I haven't done any drawings since about Wednesday of last week, but I have been working on re-visiting an abandoned canvas, begun last year in the summer. (Here is where it stood prior to this weekend.) It's gone in quite a different direction from the monochromatic Amsterdams of 2007. I've incorporated a cartographic element… Continue reading Clinton Hill house
The Northeast corridor is swathed in snowstorms and it's good enough to be the News all morning, apparently. Brooklyn is blanketed in white, but it doesn't look like the sort that's going to last very long (see above). The sounds of snowplows could be heard overnight and in the early hours.

Stanley (having been born of art supplies himself) also seems quite at home among the sightless baby heads and miscellaneous other findings in… Continue reading flat stanley
List-making: worked on new project (a collaboration– as yet, and to remain for a time, unnamed) poured resin into new jewelry bits made updates to several Work projects Now that it's a list it looks so short– but believe me, those few things have taken up the whole of the day! Audio books make fine… Continue reading A visitor of odd proportions
Saturday was Anders' big 4-0 celebration, with folks in from out of town and much revelry. A large night. Sunday brought a mild sunny day and it was tailor-made for wandering. Ben, Merci Green and I walked through Fort Greene and into Williamsburg; stopped for a beer or two at the Brooklyn Brewery, then continued… Continue reading A Sunday wander
A stoic water tower upon rampart on the roof of building 3 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Windpower on the roof of a new LEED building in the Navy Yard. Snow in Fort Greene Park. Yesterday I went to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to shoot some photos for a client. These were some incidentals shots,… Continue reading Navy Yard
