here's julia again, on the beach in winter. we love going to the beach in the off season, when no one else is around. not that we don't like you or anything, but we need our space sometimes, you know?

thanks for understanding.

hang on. obama's victory speech is starting...

...aaaand that was the first time that a politician's speech has ever made me cry. what can i say? the man's got skills.

Just brilliant - a real sense of place and mood. And YAY! Obama! He made me cry, the sheer joy on the faces of the crowd made me cry... America, my heart sings for you.

your drawings are brilliant. I can't explain it, but it's a type of drawing that I was afraid had vanished.

By the way, I saw in a comment somewhere that you had Ben Katchor for a teacher in an art class. Where?
