Miss Moon debuts in her first episode. Over the summer I learned Flash, an animation software specifically designed for the Internet. This comes after a long time of very slow progress. Suddenly, after a lot of slogging, it started to come together into a cohesive body of technical know-how. For a long time I have wanted to add a narrative element with images that moved so I am very happy to have found this simple and primitive means. Miss Caroline Moon, a peripatetic character, is not bound by convention of time or place. She moves at will and is free to have adventures. Please sign on for the trip and join her as she travels to The Etherspere in the coming months.

Touched

a quickie

Settled into my new loft, that period of confusion has passed and the serious work of the studio has begun again. It is remarkable -- this power of place. I know it in my nerves, but with every move forget how deeply the tendrils of connection must grow to feel again at home and at one with my environment.

The move was in early March and the daily routine of the spring and summer, dog walks, hot spells, changes in light, events, watching the two flymen scale the Times' facade, the rhythm of a new neighborhood, have finally become my own.

I want to write here more often.

INTERNET CONNECTIONS: A NICE MENTION from THE MIAMI HERALD

It is a story of how the Internet works.

Late last week, Miami Herald journalist, Ellie Brecher, commented on my blog and the collaborative site that artist Roz Leibowitz and I created almost a year ago.

Our humor project surprised both of us. We think that these two voices just insisted on coming into the world. It is based on the observations of two Tribeca Nannies, not because we are interested in nannies, but because that's what they told us they are and we listened. It was hatched from the air, as naturally as a drawing happens.

To back up, I had found Brecher's original article during a Google Search for my painting images. I hadn't looked at that photograph in almost five years. It had run on The Herald's front page shortly after 9/11. I posted a comment on Ellie's blog and invited her to look at the blogs. This is the way of the Internet.
