Something about the idea behind This Link is just so cool and brilliant…
Family Guy I Guess
So my nephew proposed to his girlfriend on the Golden Gate Bridge. She accepted. She is the infamous “Trivia Ringer” (See My Blog Nov. 27, 2004)brought in to defeat me at the annual family versus me trivia contest. Since she soon will be family, I guess it will be a tougher contest each holiday. The …
THREE is a magic number
My brother and his wife had triplets early this afternoon. I went to visit around the arrival time and they had already been berthed. There were two 5+ LB boys (Daniel Ambrose, a blonde, and Connor Benjamin, a hairy brunette) and a 4+LB Girl (Ava, a full-head-of-hair brunette). Everyone is doing fine, including my brother’s …
Gustav Klimt blows
I have been melting here in L.A., not a heatwave as much as a heat ocean. Long hot summer. I can’t really say much has been happening besides trying to finish up the distribution of the new issue of the magazine. the Art World Poker thing is going great, the show changes radically and RAPIDLY! …
Night out on the town
I have a backlog of work. It makes for an interesting lack of contact with the outside world. I had a date with my girlfriend last night. We were both out in the world in a state of wonder – this is what is like to not work and to not be at home – …

Resume growing by leaps and bounds
Busy Busy Busy. I wrote a 2,000 word essay on the Art of Edward Colver for the book Blight at the End of the Funnel, the 200 page catalog for Edward Colver’s Retrospective Survey at the Grand Central Arts Exhibition Space in Santa Ana. The show opens next Saturday night there and it should be …

It has been a packed week so far and it is only Tuesday afternoon. Saturday waas the memorial for Steve Schauer. Touching. Intense. Life-affirming, ultimately, as he would have wanted it to be. Sunday was the opening rounds of Art World Poker. It was fun in every sense of the word. A good people crowd, …
Steve Schauer 1953 – 2006
In case you hadn’t heard, artist Steve Schauer passed away last week. There is a memorial planned for Satuday afternoon at the Patricia Correia Galelry at Bergamot Station. I would anticipate that IF this event reflects the life of the man himself, it will be quite a party.
art World Poker
The opening of the Art World Poker group show at the i-5 Gallery was a big success, a good-sized crowd, but without the mob of freeloaders that is starting to infiltrate the Saturday Night Brewery Art Complex openings – it is a weird mix of college kids walking around with 12-packs as they look for …
So we went on a quick trip to Napa, which since I don’t drink is officially the middle of nowhere. My fabulous girlfriend has an Eagle Scout nephew who was graduating from high school, so we crashed on hr sister’s couch, went to the ceremony, listened to the same speeches you listened to at your …
