What a Long Strange Trip...
i admit, it's been a while since my last post. immediately after i returned from nyc and the conference, i moved. not two steps to the right, but a full on, "pack up the belongings and hire some movers", kind of move. then it was unpacking and trying to figure out where everything goes and before i even got settled, the antiquarian book fair came upon me.
so my head has been spinning ever since, but everything seems to be settling down and i only occasionally feel woozy.
the ny conference was really nice. interesting to attend a seminar outside of my backyard, here in l.a. but it was fun. heard a lot of good speakers, attended some good workshops and saw some of the sights of the city. because the conference was an all day event, i only really got to look around the city the last two days i was there. i've always had this bias against ny because i'm a west coast guy but i was really taken with the town, nyc, and really came to enjoy and appreciate it. something about it's aura and energy which i found invigorating (or was that just the brisk, cold air...?) it was cold while i was out there. even got to see some different weather patterns. a little rain, some snow. and i learned when someone tells you to bring a cap, they aren't talking about a baseball style cap, they mean something that will cover your ears cause i seriously thought they were going to fall off the side of my head. but it was a blast. i even got a hang for using the subway system. didn't get lost or take the wrong train once by my last day there. one small thing i took pride in...:)
so here i am, back in l.a. and trying to figure out which box i packed all my art brushes in. so in the meantime, i'll share a picture i did before my trip.


I can't believe I never commented on this one! What a fun piece. I love all the different characters boogying!
