Friends with Cursors

The Lower East Side's most visible gallery, Sloan Fine Art is a clean, well-lit mecca of contemporary art in Manhattan's epicenter of all things trending. Truth-be-told, Alix Sloan is not only my art dealer, but she has long been a best-friend-in-all-the-world to me. So with rampant self interest, and a shameless insider's point-of-view, I encourage all readers to follow the gallery's new blog. It promises to give a nice picture of Lower Manhattan's artistic life.

The Danger of Teaching at an Art School

Every so often I'll be lecturing in class, and I'll look down and notice one of my students using me as a drawing model. It's an occupational hazard. Drawings like this help me to maintain a realistic perception of my appearance. These CARICATURES are by the talented and buff David Patel.
