I've been asked to make a holiday card for NYFA (New York Foundation for the Arts)!  So far it's not quite where I want it, but here's a draft:

If I didn't think he'd be the next or possibly next, next President...I wouldn't plug his videos...but do you know how good you can have it if you plug someone's YouTube videos and then they become President of the United States?! I mean, seriously,  it'll do wonders for my career.  Check it out here.

I swear, very soon I will have non-grocery news...North Wales is the last TJ's store we'll be opening for a while (I hope).  The new murals will be in my mural gallery as soon as I am able to upload the files, hopefully by early next week.

Although you're welcome to visit them in person, I have posted some of the new signs from Brooklyn.  Most are in "signs" ( the first few are the most recent), the rest are under "commercial murals" and they're from slide 22 on.  Enjoy!

It's been a long time coming, but yesterday, in the wee hours of the night, we finished the last of the signs for today's Grand Opening.  Since I often delude myself as to the actual purpose of my job, seeing all the customers reminded me that, yes, I paint signs for a grocery store, and yes, more people are interested in the price of avocados than the forty-foot vegetable mural.  sigh.  Either way, I am lucky to have a job, and even luckier to have a job "doing what I love" as everyone tells me, so I'll shut my yapper.  Oh, except to point out that our signs made it into a few blogs, and I make an appearance as an unidentified crew member wielding a camera...I should post the photo I took of her, two strangers with photos of one another, out there for the world to see.

 

Here is a recent video creation that is posted here for the participants of LES Gladiators . (If you want a DVD of it, email me) I've changed my mind about taking it down, because it seems harmless enough I suppose, so it will remain here, in "news", until it gets buried in the archives. This video includes a Rage Against the Machine song and therefore should not be viewed by children who have not heard swear words or angry rock music.
