obligatory photo in front of your own work...hi Mom!

The gallery show was all that and a bag of chips. (yes, I just said that)
And, it was HOT.
Literally.

The gallery's air conditioning broke a few hours before the show...so with all the wonderful art and smiles, and glasses of wine, and congratulations and friends upon friends that showed up to show their support - we were also graced with a lovely humid evening, the likes of which we haven't seen all summer.

But, even with the heat it was an evening to remember...so, if you showed up, or sent virtual love...thank you again!
xx.

that's shorthand for...a peek into the gallery.

shorthand for cold.
...that's shorthand for 'cold'

shorthand for bravery.
...that's shorthand for 'bravery'

The much anticipated show opens today and here is a little sneak peek at what will be there - along with 8 other gems, by yours truly. The gallery reception starts at 7, so if you're interested stop by!

In the meantime, check out this AWEsome video that my friend Jessica sent over...I wish my desk made all my little drawn creatures come to life, don't you?

drawings and words, and the like.

hello friend.
that's shorthand for...
this little pigeon went to the market

So my upcoming gallery showing includes my pen and ink drawings with, wait for it...shorthand.
I love shorthand is like the graphic equivalent of a dying language like Latin. Unlike Latin, however, we haven't inscribed shorthand into the marble in our courthouses, so sadly it is becoming completely lost. I was lucky enough to find a Pitmans Shorthand dictionary by chance last summer in a pile of books John Jay H.S. in Park Slope was giving away for free, and it has become a prized possession. Its featured right there, in that second photo. It has the most wonderful old smell and I love how graphic a simple word like flock can be. Only one more day till the show opens!
