Coming from a publishing background and working with various writers, authors and book agents, I found this article in the Huffington Post to be quite amusing. Mariah Bear's witty infographic seems to extend beyond just book publishing as it can easily translate into other artistic endeavors and the processes we go through as artists.

Art collectors, artists and art lovers, visit SFMOMA's 19th Annual Artists Warehouse Sale at Fort Mason. Lots of great art and photography at steep discounts! Wednesday night was off the charts with people supporting the participating artists, Artists Gallery and SFMOMA. Two days remain to check out the buzz!
We're very excited to be included with Maggie Spicer and BarnDiva for Salon des Sens opening in less than one month! Mark your calendar to come celebrate a melting pot of creative and conceptual art centered around our food. And, if you like Jazz, it's the opening weekend of the Healdsburg Jazz Festival (http://www.healdsburgjazzfestival.org).
2012 is off to a busy start! I've been in London for the past couple weeks, with a quick stop at the end in New York, meeting with galleries and commercial clients on both sides of the pond.
While I was in London I heard about a liquid nitrogen ice cream parlor called the chin chin laboratorists. With my jam packed schedule I had to make a special trip to Camden Lock for a Sunday morning ice cream breakfast. Let's just say I was not dissappointed.
Owners Ahrash Akbari-Kalhur (pictured below) and Nyisha Weber were so nice, and their ice cream is INSANE. I had their delectable dark chocolate ice cream drizzled with salted caramel and topped with with candied pretzels. Definitely make the trip the next time you're there!
As promised, here is the link for my interview on The Food Seen with Michael Harlan Turkell on Heritage Radio Network discussing my terra cibus project. You can also download it via iTunes along with lots of other cool Food Seen episodes. Thank you, Michael, so much for having me on your show!

Like everyone else with the holidays fast approaching, I have my hands full, and I'm subsequently running a little behind on blogging. I didn't want to get too far into December without mentioning some highlights from my recent trip to NYC last month, which included kicking off an exhibit of some of my "terra cibus" works at the legendary James Beard House. (The show will be up through this December.) As well as having the priviledge of being interviewed by photographer and photo editor Michael Harlan Turkell for his podcast "The Food Seen". I will post a link when the show goes live.
