Monday Artday: sun
I started watching CBS Sunday Morning years ago, when Charles Kuralt was the host. The show, conceived as the television equivalent to the Sunday newspaper magazine, set an easy pace with gentle stories that were the perfect accompaniment to a bagel and a cup of coffee. Kuralt, the veteran newsman, delivered the introduction to each …
Monday Artday: frida kahlo
After a long, five year absence and an awkward “passing of the baton,” the Monday Artday blog has resurfaced like the Phoenix (the mythical bird, not the city in Arizona). I received an email from the original host and I have accepted the invitation to participate. So, here’s the deal: much like the venerable Illustration …
DCS: carrie fisher
I met Carrie Fisher a few years ago at a horror and science-fiction convention in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. It’s a convention that I have attended on-and-off over the past fifteen years.

The final entry for Inktober 2016. It’s week five, for those of you playing along at home. It’s Bonnie, Nancy, Sarah and Rochelle — everyone’s second favorite 90s movie witches. (The Sanderson Sisters are first, of course.)
inktober 2016: week four
As Inktober 2016 winds to a close, here is my entry for week four. Amelia is terrified by the Zuni fetish doll that is holding her captive in her own apartment in the greatest, made-for-television movie ever filmed, Trilogy of Terror — a tour de force for the late Karen Black.
DCS: lesley gore
Lesley Goldstein was the voice of youth, decades before Kurt Cobain had the moniker thrust upon him by the “grunge” generation. At 16, the young, aspiring singer (now using the surname “Gore”) pored over hundred of demos with her novice producer, Quincy Jones. The pair finally agreed on a melancholy tune about a poor birthday girl …
