Sourcebooks has launched a new education division.
This company expansion means that several new hires have been made. The education team includes technical architect Deb Kimminau, education sales manager Phil Hartman and programmer analyst Kavita Khanna.
Here’s more from the release: “Sourcebooks is taking that commitment a step further in creating an education division responsible for managing the company’s biggest existing initiatives, including the leading college-bound publishing program, a Naked Roommate first year experience program, and MyMaxScore.com, an online SAT/ACT test prep solution.”
You might be wondering where the house is? This is the big blue house, home to wondrous things, mystery and big time beauty. Where life and death swirl in the icy depths.
I made this painting for the program when John's brother Phil Hartman died in 1998.
John asked me to create this painting quickly so it is not the greatest work of art but I tried to make it about the content and focus on the message. Phil loved the sky, he had a plane and he loved the ocean and he had a boat. He adored Catalina and went there often. This image is what I thoughthis children would like, the idea that we all come together and swimand play in the big ocean as a family with abandon and until then, we join each other in the sea of mind. The father, mother and children all together jumping and feeling joy, the oneness. The children are grown now and they are so beautiful it hurts my eyes. All of our hearts are joined forever.They will live and grow and the renewal is taking place within and without. Sweet Graham Nash played two songs for thisbeautiful and small private ceremony. I have included the song"Simple Man" that he played for us. My submission for Illustration Friday's "Renewal" theme is the circle. When it makes no sense we must find the beauty in the aftermath.
We had a drink to Phil last night and he was with us.
Very touching piece, I love the way the light is shining on the dolphins, I think it's a lovely piece and fits with this weeks theme beautifully. Thanks for sharing!
It is beautiful. Your husband was given a wonderful gift in you and your joyful spirit. God must have known he would need you.
We remember Phil with fondness. He was one of our favorite actors and although our knowledge of him was simply what we saw on the screen, we felt sadness at his passing. Great talents are always missed.
So many times I've thought of Phil and how that is for you and John. I've had a letter in my head and heart to send you for awhile now about that... Everything about this post is so beautiful...my eyes teared up. I so get your heart, girl.- It's so wonderful that John has someone like you, and your heart, to count on, love and be present for. Healing is a lifelong journey with loss like this...you both will always have my heartfelt friendship and healing thoughts-- xo
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Dear Anon, you might have noticed that it is quite rare that I comment on comments because I have to spend some time in the real world too ;) but the reason my posts are better now is little by little I am revealing more of myself which is not easy for me. I would prefer to stay somewhat on the private side but yes, that is a bore. Having said that I try to strick a balance of reality and privacy so that the peeps that want to read about my adventures have something to sink their teeth into. I am really just a humble art blog though :D Thank you for your kind comment and maybe some day you will reveal yourself ;)
De los momentos tristes salen obras mágicas y maravillosas como esta, hecha con mucho amor y sentimiento y eso se refleja en la ilustración que parece estár viva. Es una belleza. Besos.
Het Val, The first thing I did think of was "where's the house? :o) After I read your few paragraphs, I sat here speechless and typeless (if that's a word) Wow what a wonderful tribute to Phil. I had no idea that he was your brother-in-law. I know he's looking down with pride and joy. Thanks for your vulnerability and for sharing your wonderful work with us. I always scroll through the submissions looking for your little blue ribbon house. Love your big blue house and all it's wondrous things. God bless you and your loved ones in 2010 Val.
Oh my! I didn't know you were related to him! What a very beautiful post and gorgeous piece of art. Sometimes the best art comes when we don't have much time to do it. Especially if our soul is involved deeply in the process.

Rich Little used to do great presidents. But that was maybe before your time.

NBC doesn't like Canadians watching their content! Sigh. Ah well. I will just imagine their greateness. :)

Damn -- I can't see the NBC ones either, as they are apparently 'not in my region!' Scotland, too, is out of NBC's realm. Like Courtney I will just have to use my imagination.

Oh, too bad! But the first one is my favorite, anyway, because the real George Bush calls Dana Carvey while he's doing Bush. So funny! Will Ferrell did Janet Reno's Dance Party and the real Janet Reno came crashing through the set. I love that one, too.
Brenda said, on 2/19/2008 6:18:00 PM
Sometimes I think Rich Little, Dana Carvey, etc would make better presidents in real life then the ones we have...grin...
Ello said, on 2/21/2008 4:45:00 PM
I loved Phil Hartman! But you are right Dana Carvey did the best Bush ever. but if you are going to talk about SNL sketch comedy, the one that had me peeing my pants was John Goodman as Linda Trip during the Monica Lewinski scandals. That nearly killed me!
I have to admit I wasn’t expecting much when I picked this one up (then why read it you ask; because I always read Orson Scott Card’s new books). I figured Card hadn’t even really written it, but merely come up with a vague storyline, passed it off to some rookie, and then put his name on it to sell more books. I know I sound jaded, but Robert Ludlum anyone? I mean the man is dead! How the heck is he still writing books??!?!?!? Ok, back to this book. It took me a little while to get into it, but it was a decent book. It reminded me of a Michael Crichton type book. There is a crazy scientist creating mutant DNA not to hurt anyone, but to reverse genetic mutations. Unfortunately, the mutant DNA is actualyl a virus that is so virulent it will kill anyone it comes in contact with within 5 minutes (except the person it was made for of course) Enter government agencies, a kidnapped doctor, and a crazy plan to rid the world of disease and you have an action packed thriller. The big selling point is that it is not typical and the lines between good and evil are a little more blurred than in most books of this nature, which gives it a new twist. I feel like there could have been a better ending because it kind of left my a creeped out, but I think they wanted to do that. SO if you are in the mood for a medicalish thriller I would kinda recommend picking this one up.

Happiest of new years to you my friend! I'm looking forward to more houses in this brand new year!
A sad, beautiful and "life goes on" story of renewal that can't be beat. Thanks for sharing such personal, poignant memories and sentiments, Valerie!
Very touching piece, I love the way the light is shining on the dolphins, I think it's a lovely piece and fits with this weeks theme beautifully. Thanks for sharing!
So beautiful and touching, I miss Phil Hartman greatly

The ocean is home to many of God's magnificent creatures. You have captured this easily with this beautiful illustration.
Phil Hartman was one of the funniest actors I had ever seen. News Radio was one of the best shows on TV.
You are such a sweet spirit and your husband is really blessed to have you in his life, which I'm sure he knows.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
a beautiful post
