Since this seems to be Dog Day, here's a repost of a mini-series I did of a series of mini-dogs for a Blab! show a while back. This grouping of life-size paintings of real-life tiny dogs is entitled (Shown Actual Size).

Sad and mysterious to hear about the thousands of Red-Winged Blackbirds falling from the sky in Arkansas on New Year's Eve. They are beautiful creatures. I hope they figure out why this happened and that it never happens again.

When I need a break from the illustration/photography/film/painting world, I buy and sell old stuff that catches my eye. Most of you probably know about my weekend shop, Homer & Langley's Mystery Spot Antiques, in Phoenicia, NY. Well, I finally got the blog up and running, with lots of credit due to fellow Drawger Laura Tallardy. Please stop by and check out the blog: http://www.mysteryspotvintage.com.

All season long my vintage shop - Homer & Langley's Mystery Spot Antiques - is hosting FREE special musical performances by some of our favorite musicians and bands on Sunday afternoons on our front porch on Main Street in beautiful downtown Phoenicia, NY (about 2 1/2 hours from NYC). coming this 2010 season: Ida (Elizabeth Mitchell & Daniel Littleton) and The Naysayer - Sun.

We also have a brand new blog: http://www.mysteryspotvintage.com *please call the shop or check the blog just in case there are any last-minute scheduling changes. Mystery Spot Antiques occupies seven packed-to-the-ceilings rooms in a former 1800's Main Street hotel and is home (until you buy it) to an amazing array of hand-picked vintage clothing, housewares, antiquarian art books, rusticalia, mid-century lighting and found objects. Every week we bring in fresh stacks of vintage vinyl dug out of a recently purchased estate collection of over 15,000 used records, and armfuls of killer estate-fresh vintage clothing. For nine seasons this "shrine to clutter" has been the "must-see" destination for treasure hunters, thrifters, crate diggers, tourists, musicians, curiosity seekers, fashion designers, prop stylists, and even a famous face or two. Even when the shop is not open, customers are welcome to dig through the dollar record bins and famous Yard Sale in a Box on the front porch, with an honor box/money drop at your service.
