CAKE!!

I made four little cake loafs for my sister's birthday.



She asked for chocolate cake with pink icing and multicolored sprankles.



SHE GOT IT!!

Thank you for the information.

Underground

What is this metal thing?



Rabbit ears plus round antenna plus skarshed pie plate? Duct taped to the subway entrance?

Hmm...attached to this black cable.



Goes underground?!



Down the stairs, down the hall...



Turns left...



Across the ceiling...



Into the wall!



Someone has a "secret" radio.

Note



Someone in this house has renounced toast.

Bookstore

Remember this little tripod?

She LOVES my sister.



Note the extreme kitty relaxation level, as indicated by these back pawses:



Yep, completely limp.

Purrin' too.

Sisters manicures

Hers: "Bikini with a Martini."



Mine: "Sinus Infection on Your Fingers."

Which sister made the best choice?

Old crates!

Found last night:



Not too shabby.

Just dirty!

Thanks Coned!

Remember these?

Greg put them to use! A bench for his press (in progress).




Yay for free lumbers!

Bear



Like this dog, he's not having a great day.

But Horsey's on top of the world!

Studio Violet

It is great. Especially these two pictures:





Imaginary friends, trees and tree products, and mini things: all make Becky very happy.

Aha!





Caught in the act.

Hungry kitties need a good home!

Yum yum



Greasy working-late pizza.

Punishment or reward?

CHECK IT OUT!

Greg's brand-new etching press!



OH YAY!

New studio

Greg built a work bench!









(Hey, see the turquoise trolley in the background?)

And here he is making my desk:



I can't wait!

Wot a handy fellow he is.

New rows on the giant granny





Getting there
!

Hollenb, are you excited??

Christmas cactus UPDATE



It is growing like the dickens!

Time to repot it again.

Favorite pants



Used to be Greg's.

Someday

I will have chicken friends.





































Why not??

I need all the friends I can get. (Also: eggs.)

Art-world panel discussion



They're pretty much all the same.

In this case, Seth Siegelaub, Christophe Cherix, Maria Eichhorn, and Hans Haacke at PS1 for the New York Art Book Fair Conference.

When will they learn to speak into the microphones?

Dear Kiehl's

Did you know that your "unscented" moisturizer smells like a barnyard? I have been wondering why for a while now, and finally I remembered to check the bottle.

I thought, maybe urea? Nope—it's lanolin!



Yeah, SHEEP!

Who doesn't love how they smell.

GIANT-GRANNY-SQUARE UPDATE



Bigger.



Looks cozy, don't it.

Street negatives









And...snowman, INVERT!!



Most excellent snowman.

Good job kids!

Note

This time from the landlady's husband.



No letter may touch another letter.

He has pretty much the best handwriting ever.

It's fall



Lumberjack season.

Midtown sunset



Looking west through fritted glass.

Found last night!

I am powerless against the allure of cigar boxes.



I may or may not already have several of these.

Books, of course:



There is a Simenon "Maigret" novel that did not make it into this picture. It, Borges, Wilde, Ballard, Beckett, and Dickens are for me. The rest are for the Internet. (I already sold the Sandman and Love and Rockets books!)

And, an excellent metal Homak toolbook, complete with red tray and sawdust!





For all my stuffs!

The street giveth to ol' Becky.
