THE LATEST!

News! A number of things have happened since I last checked in, not the least of which was the election and its consequences. In its aftermath a lot of us are thinking about the future and what it portends. Thinking about the future -and the past -caused a bit of soul-searching on my part and that in turn eventually led to my latest project; “Johns” an animated film reflecting on the impact one artist(Jasper Johns) can have upon another (in this case, yours truly). I have just finished the film-but you’ll have to wait to see it; it’s been submitted to a number of film festivals that stipulate it not be seen online until it debuts at their festival. I do hope to make it public this summer.

I was also honored to be included with a number of great cartoonists, past and present, in an exhibition at William Paterson University galleries called “Sunday Comics:The Creative Page”, curated by Art History Professor Claudia Goldstein and installed by Gallery Director Casey Mathern. It was a terrific show and there was a wonderful panel discussion the night of the opening, moderated by Professor Goldstein and featuring Karen Green, Curator of the Comics and Cartoons library at Columbia University, and cartoonists R.Sikoryak, Gideon Kendall, Charles Featherolf and myself. I had five pieces in the show, three from Daiquiri Jones :Sunday Adventures and two collages. One of the collages is shown below.

There are some changes afoot in both life and work. But more about that later.
It’s Spring! Time for things to grow!
