New York Trip

Trips like these inspire me and give me ideas to do other things with my products. 

I had a great time seeing my sister in Pawling, NY, college roommates, friends from way back from PR and one that left Cleveland for NJ. She still misses Cleveland. 
It was a shock to my son the amount of walking we did. We relied on the subway like never before. When I used to go with my grandmother, we took cabs.
The sad part was my American dad died the last weekend of June --so sad to die alone.


I had to see the 9/11 Memorial. I went up to the top several times since 1975. I used to stand on the bottom of the building and look how it swayed. My mom and I took the PATH from Hoboken and she was impressed at how many people were going up and down the escalators.



 Lost in Central Park...we found Belvedere Castle. I never ventured to visit Central Park because it WAS dangerous back in the 80's and early 90's.


My good friend Lynda Klich showing the book she co-wrote The Postcard Age: Selections from the Leonard A. Lauder Collection.  I am definitely buying that book--the images are great!



Coolest green project is the High Line along 10th Ave. Perennials taken care by volunteers, spots to rest & eat while looking at buildings were once the area was ugly.

Le Pain Quotidien, I believe a Belgian yummy chain serves super fresh food: bread, bread and bread!

Extraordinary Fireworks in Ridgewood, NJ! Who knew?! Happy 4th!!

NOIS AT THE ZOO!

Tammy & I joined the group of fellow illustrators to do some animal sketching. It has been a while since I have done some good practice drawing. I am proud of my results! Then I stopped at Koko Bakery to buy Chinese mallorcas & ordered take out from Superior Pho where I left my favorite black ink pens...they will hold it for me.

A lot is happening!

...but I need to get my TSH (thyroid under control)!

CLE Clothing Co. on Euclid & 4th is selling my CLE pride cards!!! Sooo happy! People seem to dig my designs. I will be working on prints of Cleveland landmarks plus cards. I just dropped another batch of cards before Memorial Day weekend.

Lake Erie Artists Gallery on Shaker Square is also selling some of the CLE pride cards plus my new Audubon styled bird cards. They sold out of the bird cards in one weekend when clients from Israel & Russia stopped by.

Fairmount Letters placed an order for CLE pride cards too! The owner is soo helpful and nice!

I have to say that the owners of these places are very supportive of me and of local artists. Like we say around here: Buy NEO!

The Nature Center is missing out!
