Many years ago I sent a cassette tape of this little jingle to the Perdue company. They gave me the name of the Madison Avenue ad agency that handles their advertising, but I never followed up with them. The woman who wrote to me included some chicken recipe cards and said that everybody in the steno pool found my song amusing.

ART SCHOOL PAINTINGS 7

Here's shot of my teenage bedroom at the time, featuring the BAR lamp from one of the self-portraits. That's the back of a painting leaning against the bed.

I guess this was the "style" I finally landed on, such as it was. (More little blue stain eaters!) After only one semester as a painting major, I switched to graphic design, where I thought less bullshit was involved.

At the time, there were TV commercials for a washing detergent that featured cleaning enzymes, which they called "little blue stain-eaters." For some reason, this triggered my little-blue-stain-eaters period.

I actually remember this model's name: Ivy. She once invited the students to a party at her house, where we got to see her fully clothed for a change.

I wasn't just painting trees in art school, thank goodness. Here's a (stylized) nude model.

I recently came upon some ancient, blurry slides of paintings I did in art school. Here are some trees.

CAMEO

My name made a cameo appearance in a video about Eldon Dedini on YouTube. It was a shot of a list of cartoonists in a New Yorker cartoon book collection.
I'd like to thank alphabetical order for making this possible.
