Did you know I actually met her once? I did. I shook her hand. She was nice.

Judd Hirsch bowled in the lane next to me, but we didn’t meet.

My boys were pretty unhappy – you can imagine the scene: indignant groans from Steve and Wes, pathetic apologies from me…)

I’m putting this little guy up on etsy (as well as all the others animals completed recently). I should have them all up by Monday… though some are already there… prices range from $28 – $42. Edit: They’re all up!
I received an e-mail from artist Carol Parks yesterday… she’s having Sabrina Ward Harrison come to her studio and teach a workshop in March! I so wish I could attend, but maybe one of YOU can go in my place… great discount if you sign up by 2/20…
Lately I’m really enjoying the blog of illustrator James Yang (Yangblog), and check out this WONDERFUL animated short by artist Julia Pott (“My First Crush”).

One of my transfers was featured on today’s Newsday’s Cheap Thrills blog… thanks Corris!
This elephant is part of a journal page I did this past week… I’ve never been good at art journaling for some reason — I think I’ve been intimidated by the book format. But hanging out with all of those art journalers last week inspired me… here are two pages:
