Now, I’m reading Peter Biskind’s Down & Dirty Pictures, subtitled Miramax, Sundance and The Rise of Independent Pictures. The book was released January 6, 2004 (just in time for the festival). While databasing 1987, I recalled that Biskind, the author, was a documentary judge at Sundance. I also recalled that Biskind was the former editor of Premiere magazine. It is fascinating reading even if it savages most of the primary players. Like Devil’s Candy and You’ll Never Eat Lunch in this Town Again, it offers insights in to places that some people would prefer we didn’t look.

Printmaking Success

Yesterday, we went to Mesa Art Center for a printmaking session (many thanks to David Manje) and it was a GREAT day. In fact, it was probably the best printmaking session ever! Harry, Sam and Brandi’s prints were crisp and clear, the images rich and velvety, the workflow invigorating. Support was provided by Cindy S. making the day a complete pleasure.
