Painting Journal 9/10-9/14

This week, I had a chance to paint in Central Park and at the Riverdale train station. It was a race against darkness and the arrival of my train. I also did some squinting and scribbling in my own kitchen and bathroom.

August BOOK PAGE interview

Hey folks, just thought I'd drop a line to let you know I'm in this month's Book Page magazine/web site. They have a special way of interviewing artists, and I had a blast doing it!

You can pick up a hard copy at your local library or bookstore, or just:

All the best,

Time Out NY KIDS interview published

Well, last night was the first time I actually dreamed I was giving a book signing. Yep, the past few months have been all about publicity, and here's something that ought to help a great deal: I'm in Time Out New York KIDS this issue (August)! Carolyn Juris has written up a sweet little interview in which she covers all the books and delves into my mysterious past. And future.

So run out and buy a copy. I think I might get a new copy, too -- the cat walked on mine.

Cheers,
David
