1. Robert's Snow: The Last Round!!! (Auction 3 Ends This Friday, Dec. 7, 5 PM E.S.T.)

If you roll over these images, you should see the snowflakes' titles and artists' names pop up (though I've noticed this feature doesn't work in Firefox).

Once again, just "a few" of my favorites:

I lifted these images (fronts and backs) off the Auction 3 page of the Dana Farber Cancer Institute/Robert's Snow Web site. Too many wonderful snowflakes to post here! Go to Auction 3 and get tempted by them all!

Love,

2. Robert's Snow 2007: Auction 2 (until Nov. 30, 5 PM EST!!)

Auction 2 of Robert's Snow is going on right now.

I could not possibly show you all the awesome snowflakes I want that are part of this round. You have to check them out yourself.

Here are just a few . . .

*Drool*

Imagine how beautiful your tree will look decorated in one, two, three, or half a dozen of these! Imagine a child looking at your tree (or window, or holiday vacuum cleaner) and dreaming of the stories implied.

Go bid!

3. Part 2: If Damon and I Lived In South Park

You know, that last entry ("If Damon and I Lived In Springfield") about the Simpsons and unofficial Cooleyville tagline ("If the Simpsons were Asian and lived in South Park, you'd have Cooleyville") got me thinking. Suddenly I remembered:

Damon and I have been drawn as South Park characters before, too!

I totally forgot! Tony W did it for our wedding cartoon!



Character designs by Tony Wang in 2002. He modeled the heads after our kid pictures. Then, after getting feedback that they reminded people of South Park, he took the resemblance all the way and designed the bodies and cartoon to suit. It turned out great!

I would upload the full cartoon, which is short and entertaining, but I don't know how. The cartoon is in flash, and we played the music separately at the time. Now I would want to upload the music and visuals together.

Technical advice, anyone?

4. Look! Look!


Look! Look! Mary Peterson did an illustration of me! During a one-day painting class we just took at Huntington Gardens through Barnsdall Art Center!

It's so flattering, too. Man, I like Mary. :) :)

I'm wearing my new hat (which is the same as my old hat) that I just got in San Francisco. (I lost the first one on Easter Island.)

Oh, man. I have so much to blog about from the past few months, not to mention the trip preceding.

A lot more coming soon.

Love,
Rita
