Thanks
Today I give thanks for my exciting and charmed life. Could my parents and grandparents have imagined the interesting people I've known and the incredible things I've been a party to? For many years I celebrated this day with the Blechman family in their elegant Central Park West apartment. One of my appearances there was documented by Lee Friedlander.

Frame-able
The glue binding is dried and cracked, popping pages from the security of the covers to an out-of-line inch. The pages are prematurely yellowed. The content, strikingly vibrant. In 1978 George Griffin, along with Victor Faccinto, Al Jarnow, Kathy Rose and Anita Thacher published "Frames", a paperback featuring work from roughly 80 experimental film and animation artists. At the risk of violating the first page's "No portion of this book may be reproduced in any form with the written permission of the individual artist" -I'm going to get all "fair use" on y'all and post a three of my favorites.

Big/Little
Joey Ahlbum just posted his Sesame Street film "Tall Short Texans" on the YouTube. Sesame Workshop could make a mint by publishing DVDs of their animated shorts. I'd buy at least two copies -so that's $40 right there. More than they're making off them now. With Joey's knack for dichotomies in mind, we've been developing a pre-school series with him.

The Kindness of Strangers
First, here's a great post on caricature and his lecture at SCAD by Steve Brodner. ************* Last week I got an email from a collector in Long Island. He recently purchased a lot of Fred Mogubgub paintings and invited me to see them. This portrait is about two feet by three feet. It's covered in a glaze which gives it the look of a Byzantine icon -also preserving the paint to the point you can spill grape juice on it with little effect.
