Busy, busy week! I have been accepted into the Artist-in-Residence program at Smith Farm Center for the Healing Arts in Washington, DC! My residency began this week. In this role I share the art of cartooning with cancer patients who are using the arts as part of their healing process. (This came about as a result of the cartoon storytelling course I developed and have been teaching these past two years at colleges and art centers in Maryland.)

Also, have started producing promotion videos for Northern Virginia Community College (5 campuses!). It’s a long drive, but I’m excited by the projects they have for me!

Between these commitments, continued work for regular clients like BlueRock Productions and Blue Dot, and work on “Freedom Dance”, summer is going to be a busy but fun time!

Many thanks to that Blue Rock gal, Thea Maichle, for announcing that “The Color Purple” was playing at the Hippodrome tonight. (And for letting me join her family for the screening!) It’s one of my favorite movies. Well told by the masters. Always an education.
