we headed over to the gallery to film the interview. here's a super cool pic of Mark "hitting" my door!

my 30th HIGH SCHOOL REUNION (Bronx Science '81)

What a great event and evening it was!! So many old friends and classmates....the evening went by WAY too quickly. Highlights? hmmm....too many to mention them all. How about seeing Ms Strauss, the fairey godmother of the Ultimate Frisbee team! that was awesome! what a sweetie!!!
And soooooo many others....while most of you reading this won't have a clue as to who anyone is in these pix...i'm posting them anyway! btw, check out the snazzy suit i had on!!!!

New York Comic Con 2011

It was a hectic and busy show....rather than blabbing about it...here are the pictures!

way back when.....before this year's fall

We did a very nice hike up in Harriman State Park. This is our "go to" hiking spot...the trail we use most is a fabulous loop that passes thru undulating hills with several great vista's and nice brooks, streams, a lake and a pond. And yes...it's our secret... enjoy the pix! only 1 hour from NYC!! Check out Grant up in the tree (lena's former classmate from P.S.11). it was a great day...a fall/winter hike is definitely in our near future!

Later that day we went apple picking and stuffed our faces plenty. Brought back a huge bag of apples for eating and making pies with. We've done this 2 times this fall.

out an about in NYC- the past few weeks

events from the past few days:

driving in to the gallery (i don't usually do this...subway or bike for me) it was time to drive our recyclables to the processing plant. i spotted this art luminary and took a quick pick of his head. answer? at the end of this blog!

recently we've been enjoying the extenstion of
the High Line...despite the huge crowds and the extremely annoying people who stand in groups along the narrowest part of the path, we LOVE it.
also include here are pix from the grounds below where they had the opening party and where resides a really cool beer garden!
we are psyched to partake!

also spent a great day a few weeks ago biking to and around Governer's Island. No cars, and a very nice place to bike around on.

next up is the fabulous sculpture in Madison Sq Park. and also a note about the food court that was gone in a flash (only 1 month :-( ...). i enjoyed a beer there with Marcia. and another time i took John Lind and his wife there.

Jeffrey Brown and i out and about when he was in town for his FIRST solo show at our Gallery!

then a coupla nice Chelsea art gallery days... a fabulous Picasso show, and a wonderful Keith Haring show featuring a whole mess of small pen & ink drawings.

a great day. and lastly a picture of Marcia & Lena in our community garden~!

Zap artists, & High Line opening!

The incredible High Line in Chelsea just opened the extension north of 20th st!
Marcia and i went for a walk the opening nite and we're both amazed!

there's a really cool Zap Comix artists art show at the Andrew Edlin gallery in Chelsea, curated by
Gary Panter (like they need me plugging the show?!!). most of the art isn't for sale as
it's loaned from a private collection. Great viewing...and it's right across the street from the High Line! what could be better?

3 cons down, 3 art shows~....1 con to go (san diego!!!)

it was a crazy busy spring for me.
-secaucus nj, art con!
-wondercon, sf! and then a week visiting my brother in L.A.
played pitch and putt golf, and did some awesome hikes in the malibu canyons.
-c2e2 chicago! cool show, and 1 free day to visit the art institute, and the natural history museum,
eat lots of great food, and watched the UFC live with Jeffrey Brown at his house! it was great.

squeezed in the middle of this was the Tony Millionaire, Peter Bagge, Jeffrey Brown art shows!
and of course our trip to Costa Rica.

now i'm getting ready for San Diego and YES, i will be bringing tons of awesome art. including brand new ASHLEY WOOD art!!! we will also be making an exclusive art print with Ash.
