Warren Adler's Funny Boys gets a rave review in - where else - Kaatskill Life: A Magzine for Kaatskill Living. In a full-page essay in the Summer issue, John Rowen describes Funny Boys as a "fast-paced novel about gangsters, comedy, and romance. . . Adler's writing is visual and vivid and he excels in dialogue, confident narration, a strong pace, and carefully drawn descriptions. He immerses you in the action, whether it is a gangster meeting on a city street corner or a dinner show in a resort dining room."

Graphitints and Polychromos on illustration board

There's a stand of Italian Cypress tress in the yard behind me. All Winter I've been watching them bend and sway in the wind. Its kind of mesmerizing some days, others its scary. So anyways, I finally decided to use them as inspiration for a yarn piece.
I started with Graphitints then filled in more with Polychromos. I like using the two together.
This last week I didn't get much done. Well, I did, but it was nothing I could blog about. And I didn't have time to do any yarn. Or anything else for myself. I was cranky!
Next up is a series of tests about "black and white", or more specifically, "monochromatic" pieces, done with different greys, sepias, blacks etc. I'm doing a piece that will be in black and white, but want to warm it up some. I'm not sure I want to use sepia. I know the Polychromo "soft blacks" are impossible to find now, so that's out. I love my usual Polychromo regular black (like the yarn in the last post), but its a very cold black. I just want to explore some options. So hopefully in the next couple of days I'll have something to show.
Stay tuned!
