Africans and Their Art - (USA)
East Africa’s Monitor publications ran this essay by Osei G. Kofi outlining the rise in value of African art and the emergence of African contemporary artists: The 1990s date the actual breakthrough into the world art market. In 1990 a 32-inch wooden sculpture depicting the earth cult priestess Queen Bangwa of Cameroon was offered for auction by the Harry A Franklin family of California.

Brant Publications - (USA)
It’s not too uncommon for us to have trouble scrounging up details about a company’s internships despite the fact that we know that they have them; however, today’s situation is pretty unusual. We’re having no trouble finding information on internships with Brant Publications, but we’re having a heck of a time gathering information about the actual company. It’s not that they’re some stealth stage startup or a small boutique firm that nobody has ever heard of. They are the publisher of three we

Happy Birthday Marie - (USA)
Marie Antoinette, that is! She was born in 1755...well, we won't get into a history lesson right now. In honor of Marie's birthday (which I guess was just totally a coincidence that the event was on her birthday), I attended A Parisian Soiree, hosted by the lovely Heather Bullard today at The Mission Inn. This was actually my first trip to The Mission Inn and what a lovely, historical hotel. They host a Festival of Lights during the holiday season which I understand is just incredible, bu

Exceptional people: Malcolm Monteith - and the saddest words in the world - (USA)
Sometimes I have a bad day. I’ve stayed up too late and slept badly. The Min Pins keep their distance, tired too from a night in a bed on a stormy sea. In the morning I scurry around making their breakfast and sorting out the chickens. Munching toast from Jalopy’s long dashboard, I corner carefully and prepare for the worst. Bad nights often mean a tricky day at work. As a decorator, I can’t hunch at a desk and pretend that I’m working. It’s all about being lively and producing truly visible r

Brunching with Some Old Friends - (USA)
Another Sunday, another brunch -- this time featuring old friends, new books, dead teachers, and a June B. Jones toothbrush.SPOOKY STORIESIn a recent blog entry, I mentioned an old friend who liked to stretch out her birthday over an entire month. Well, she’s not the only one who enjoys protracted celebrations. Here in the midwest, we’ve got radio stations that began playing all-Christmas-carols-all-the-time starting November first. As much as I enjoy holiday music, I think that’s pushing it.

A trip on the wayback machine - (USA)
When people warn you that anything you post to the Internet is now out there forever, take that warning seriously. Thanks to Rudy Amid, I visited Google's wayback machine, which is an index of pages from 2001. There, I found an old resume I'd posted online, along with several clips of stories I'd written for the newspaper, back when I worked for a chain of community newspapers. For your reading pleasure (?), I've copied one story below. It's certainly not Pulitzer caliber, but I thought it was f
