Keeping Faith In An Idea
And a New Yorker exhibit
I hope you all are having a good Sunday. Michael and I just picked up a lot of cartoon and cover art from the collector Steven Nadler, who is lending them for an exhibition I am curating to celebrate The New Yorker centennial in 2025. It was so fun to look at great art for an afternoon. Stay tuned, I will let you all know about that exhibit in the next few months. The opening event is January 16, 2025 at the Society of Illustrators, NYC.
Here is one. The artist is Helen Hokinson and this was drawn in 1938.
See you tomorrow! Thanks for being here.
Then there's no truth to the rumor that Lady Liberty is about to be deported?
I feel that the less news pundits I listen too the better I feel. I am spending my time creating - not as you do - I can't draw to save my life - I knit, crochet, and quilt. I just finished a 60 inch by 60 inch throw for a little 5 year old who is in Philadelphia Children's Hospital. His first bone marrow transplant was just rejected so there will be another attempt. He loves John Deere tractors - so that's the fabric I picked. I made a matching pillow with his name on it too and will make another pillow that will have a pocket for a board book about a John Deere tractor. I do use graph paper to plan out some of my quilt blocks, etc. and have to have coordinating fabric patterns and colors for borders and backing. I think that finding one's passion and sharing something helpful and doing good deeds is what will save me and maybe others. Your drawings are always spot on. I saw so many pics of Lady Liberty a crumpled, crying, cowering mess that is a powerful image that you have her standing strong. We all must stay strong against the onslaught of 4 years of Trump and his chaos that will surely ensue. Sorry for the long post but writing is a catharsis too as is baking and cooking! Cleaning not so much:)
