Thanks for comments guys. I am always happy to read them.

Tom- Long time no talk! You need to fill me in on what's going on these days.

Dori - Is Pt. Isabel the one off Central Ave behind the Costco? There's a dusk scene I'd like to paint there of some metal towers in the water (the ones with the red lights on at night, I don't know what to call them). Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the ironworks show. :)

pochade - thanks for the praise, twice even! ;) I'm far far far from deserving the "master" title though. But cheers anyway! I enjoyed your blog very much.

Julien - oh you had to know who the bear and squirrel were from the very beginning when you first bought the print, I'm sure of it! Thanks Julien. By the way, how did that certain piece turn out??

Jimmy G - Bro! I am very much looking forward to slappin' down some paint with you. Your recent watercolors are killing me by the way. Too awesome.

Adam - You know, I had every intention of seeing the Bridge of Sighs, but I somehow missed it despite being so close to it. Bummer! I really enjoyed reading your comment by the way. Even for such a highly trafficked location, Venice affects people on such personal levels and I enjoyed reading how it affected you. Thanks for the kind words regarding my own impressions.

Oh man, this brings back so many fond memories - especially of Venice, there really is something special about that place, despite itself! I remember walking to the end of St Marks and round the corner toward the Bridge of Sighs, and looking out across the water to the promenade on the far side, with all of the mooring poles in between - it was the place in Europe that most powerfully 'transported me' back to the 16th century. I can only imagine the grandeur it must have posessed then.

Your story was beautifully and poignantly captured. Your writing is witty and insightful - your updates are always anticipated. See you round, mr gorilla!

Oh, by the way, should you get nostalgic over italy, I do believe Italian Spiderman Episode 2 is now out! Go slake your thirst! Ciao :)

Sweet bro!!!! ; ) Damn you've done more sketching in a week than I've done in a year! Really good stuff. I miss seeing your art in the gym, but now that you're back, we have to break in that new pochade of yours with some quality "early bird" sessions (why does that sound dirty?).

I did really enjoy the trip. Hey, I was introduced to your art at my gym, Ironworks. Although I don't climb, I'm a member because they have great yoga classes and I like the vibe there. Your show was really inspirational. I love seeing the Bay Area through your drawrings. I was at my favorite dog park, Pt. Isabel, today thinking that it would be a great place to make art. Thanks again, Dori

:O Awesome art overload !!!
