I took my Nepali language book off the shelf yesterday just for fun and to remind myself of what I know (somewhere deep in the back of my brain). When I opened it, I found this inside: If case you can’t tell, that’s a post-it note with a drawing of an eject button on it. [...]

Happy new year. It’s good to be home after a fun visit with family. And after a week of bitter -20 nights, it is a sunny and ‘hot’ 40 degrees today–warm enough that I don’t have to think about freezing as I walk with Oso. And no eyelash-icicles. It is nice looking back at the [...]

What looks at first to be a construction site/obvious death-trap-for-kids is the coolest playground EVER. While home for the holidays, Patrick and I went on a little adventure to the City Museum. What’s that, you ask? a Dr. Seuss-Moustrap game. a ride down the rabbit hole. and the brain child of artist/sculptor Bob Cassilly. I [...]

My good friend Lisa is having a show of her Holga photographs tonight at TetonArtLab in Jackson Hole, WY. (yeah, Lisa! woohoo!) I wish I could buy them all and hang them as a grid in my studio, but well, my studio is small so I chose these 3 instead. I just can’t wait to [...]

I just saw the documentary Helvetica (thanks Beth!). I was never trained in typography–I was an illustration major, not design. But I LOVE type, and this film was super inspiring to me in different ways…new views, old views, history, permission to play more, and an assortment of ideas about how it can ‘be’. Check it [...]

Everyone needs a little inspiration for their yoga practice some days. At least, I do. When I lived in the city, it was easy. I went to class 4-5 times a week, but now I live so far from town that it’s pretty much “home practice” for me–which is so much about ‘showing up’. Working [...]

“Do anything. Work in a potato field…but if you do work in a field, do not fail to observe the look and feel of earth and all things you handle–yes, even potatoes!” –Ben Shahn I always giggled at the line about working in a potato field, but now I’m livin’ it! I just dug up [...]

“On October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind -THE ENVIRONMENT. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future.” I was going to write about organic [...]

Today was the last day of the Richard Diebenkorn exhibit at the Harwood Museum in Taos. It was the first time these paintings have ever been shown together–his “Albuquerque Series”. Diebenkorn created this work between January 1950 and June 1952, while he was a graduate student at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. He [...]

My friend George Pratt just returned from Poland and Germany. He visited the concentration camps to do research on a project he’s been working on to illustrate Gabor Barabas’s poems about the Holocaust. George posted nearly eighty photographs from his trip on his blog. They are very moving to say the least–the subject, of course, [...]
