Thanks Sam!

I'm off island right now and in LA. (OMG does everyone drive 90 miles an hour here or what?!!) Last night I went to the opening night of Todd Schorr's art show "The World we live in" at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Hollywood. It was awesome meeting Todd. And he didn't seem to mind when I gave him a big "aloha" hug.

The show features four new paintings, plus sketches and color comps for those same pieces. And then, lots of beautiful giclcee prints from his past work. He said he did the four paintings in 6 months - most of the time went onto the big main piece "The Ape Allegory". I told him I guess I should paint faster, he said, "The trick is just to use bigger brushes!"

Google Todd Schorr or Merry Karnowsky to check out the show.

Well, I'm kicking around so cal for the next few days, seeing family and friends - I see Ken Ruzic later today!

Big aloha from Thousand Oaks!
