The jazz fest is filling my town with music. I had a chance to sketch to the Dave Glasser Quartet yesterday. The exerience (a good band playing tightly in front of an appreciative audience in a fancy venue in the late afternoon) was so inspiring, I filled a couple of pages and looked, listened, and exerienced the music. It's easy for me to forget how much I love to draw live performances but each time I do, I get to feel that much more engaged in the activity.

The other thing I want to tell you about is this fantastic kids book illustrated by Milton Avery and (i think) never published. It's about the most charming thing I 've seen today but then it's only 2 in the afternoon and there's still time for more charm.

I'll leave you with a paper doll I made a few months ago and found undereath a pile of papers.
