  3. TCAF was just the greatest, as captured in this photo of Jeff Smith giving me a giant hug- I didn’t even ask. We are getting married in the spring. No not really. My actual fiance told me I have to stop saying that.  I’m not slapping him with overstuffed sausages- that stubby dumpy thing is my hand. I also met Scott Campbell and bought a tiny print of the Poltergeist showdown- and guess what! He was a super nice guy! He is just as friendly as his art is. It was a wonderful thing to learn.  I gave Lucy Knisley the painting of her cat and we chatted a bit- what a dream that was.  It’s just so nice to learn that I can admire these people as people just as I admire them as artists. We saw the Avengers on Saturday, which really fit in with all the art of the festival; It came from such talent that to be immersed in it was so terrifying and inspiring at the same time! When we came home Sunday I worked and worked for 7 hours straight.

  4. This is Lucy Knisley’s cat. I am going to TCAF this weekend and I will be giving her this painting. That is how awkward I am. (it looks better IRL because that yellow is actually gold)

  5. This took too long. Seriously, I got back from this trip something like 3 weeks ago. I should probably do the rest of the days…we’ll see. Know that it would look like garbage if not for the paper texture. Very inspired by Lucy Knisley’s work.
