Wacky Sun Worshipping and other odd Jewish Traditions
So in a scant few hours the sun will be at the exact point it was when God created it on the Fourth Day of Creation. Every 28 years at dawn the sun returns to its point of origin and installation. It is a moment of awe where we give thanks for the life and […]
Waxing philosophical at the local comix shop
The bond between a man and his local comic book store is mysterious and awkward. The ritual of return for the sequential art fix is ripe with potential. You never know who might join the conversation that flows from pychotropic drug references to favorite scenes from the Incredibles. Where else can you hear a sassy […]
Growing up Comix Rocked!!
I can’t sleep because my head is still spinning from the awesomeness that was last night’s opening of Growing up Comix. The rain could in no way dampen the mood as friends, family, and tons of peeps filled the Arts Center/South Florida gallery in SoBe Miami. It was such a trip seeing more than 20 […]
Madoff is our Shabbatai Zvi
So I really think that this whole scandal is our generation’s equivalent of the false messanism that was Shabbatai Zvi. Go google that name and check out how that guy’s story overlaps with Bernie Madoff. New York Magazine’s Madoff/Joker cover is just the beginning. Bernie has just entered an infamous rogues gallery. He has single […]
Purim Pandemonium!
This Thursday, March 5th, marks the opening of my first major solo show for Megillat Esther. The Jewish Museum of Maryland in Baltimore has put together an amazing exhibition of nearly 50 pages of original art as well as large format prints of the illustrations and a short video of yours truly breaking down the […]
iphone WordPress doesn’t like me
Apologies for the delayed reactions and slow going on the blog posts. I have been a busy bee and have had limited access to the laptop. No problem, the handy little iphone has a WordPress application. Sweet! But alas, I can’t seem to make the thing work because the 2 posts I wrote on the […]
LimmudPhilly Rocked!
The first Limmud in Philly was yesterday and it was great! With more than 600 peeps in attendance, there was a really nice vibe in the air. I lead two workshops that were well attended and everyone seemed to have fun. I’m glad that even my Aunt Ruthy was able to attend, and she now […]
Growing Up Comix
So I am busting my hump getting ready for my first solo art show. Who knew that mounting a show was so time consuming? Frames, mattes, shipping?! Oy Vey!! I am exhibiting almost 50 pieces that I have made since 1985. Although, truth be told, the fact that I now wear bifocals and can say […]
NYCComicCon and Miami Fun
So last weekend I bopped around the east coast. On Friday I went to the NYC ComicCon, ran into a long lost friend from college and generally had a swell time. Then I headed down to sunny Miami where I hung with some more friends and their awesome little kids. I was invited by Temple […]
