Trick or Treat

Boo! Inspired by the play "Harriet's Halloween Candy" - and Trick or Treating the old-fashioned way (where you had to wait until after dinner to go out, wear a coat over your costume, and it was only neighborhood kids going through your neighborhood!) Oh, and you cut up the apple before you ate it, because...well you know, just to be safe...but you actually ate the apple. Happy Halloween everyone!

Bija Dark Chocolate Truffles

So, there seems to be a new trend in sticking vitamins / minerals / other healthy stuff into chocolate to get people to eat it. I'm a little insulted by the implication that the only way to get me to take my pills is to stick it in something to disguise it, like a dog that who won't swallow pills (hiding them in steak tartar wouldn't be a bad idea, although I think I'm the minority on that one). Anyway, I found these new chocolates that have omega 3 & 6 fatty acids (and evening primrose oil for any of you suffering from PMS or hotflashes). Surprisingly the dark chocolate truffles are DELICIOUS! Ok, so maybe dogs have the right idea...

Speedo or Naturalist?

I've just worked out a 5x7 print of my original paintings (it was tough deciding on the cropping...) unlike the originals & the larger prints, the smaller prints don't include the ink "bleed"). Also the small prints come matted with a white archival mat and backboard (outside dimensions 8x10).

note: all of my images are copyrighted, but the copyright does not appear on any of the prints or originals (unlike the photos on the various websites)

And, I'm "in the news"!

Norm in the movies?

so I just found out (through Googling artbynorm) that Norm is in a movie! of course it is what appears to be a Japanese student's movie - and I can't find a link to the actual movie, but none-the-less, Norm was listed in the credits! check it out at: http://shoumanabiya.blogspot.com/2007/08/i-fianlly-finished-assignment-5.html

woo-hoo! my 5 seconds of fame - look out Oscar, here I come!

Vegas...

So I was there on a whirlwind tour (26 hours to be exact) - and I left feeling like I was a little kid, sitting in bed reading a storybook that I jumped inside of. Bright colors, costumes, strange sounds - everything was so unreal compared to my reality. It was a very fun / surreal experience.
