My friend Sarah sent me a care package with a wonderful little book called The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. I read half of it the night that I received it, and realized that it will be a new touchstone book for me.

These days, I am working for a few hours each day on the cartoon for my painting, during further research/gathering references for same, preparing for NYC, and, if you can believe it, finishing the hair embroidery mailing that I began months ago before the last painting took over, sending out CDs of my hair embroidery work to curators and galleries.
