Krissa and I are poised to take on the Art World (capital letters out of deference to those who are more adept at Bullshitting than oneself) and in particular the photographic aspect of it (photography is hard as diamonds, I'll grant that) by touring every photographic exhibition in Chelsea before sundown.
It says a lot about our level of confidence that we're still at home and contemplating a diner breakfast before we get down to business.
We'll let you know how it goes.
Incidentally, as we're on the way out the door (there's a californian ommelette out there with my name on it) can anyone tell me if there's some sort of service whereby you can obtain prints of past 'New Yorker' magazine cartoons?
The one I'm after is pretty old. By a chap going by the name of Paul Crum and features a couple of hippos...first published in Punch before the Second World War and republished in the New Yorker I don't know when.
*shrug*
Anyway.
To battle!
Hi Stuart!
Try this link, you can browse the cartoons pretty extensively and I believe you can also order them as prints.

Hope that helps! Enjoy your blog, feel free to stop by mine sometime! :)
If you ever find the source of old New Yorker cartoons, I have always wanted a print of the one that shows a drawing of the world as seen from New York: wide strip of america, similar strip of ocean, and a small thin strip that represents the rest of the world. Not a very good description; I'll know it when I see it. It used to hang in a pub restaurant that I went to with Dad and Dr P when we were newly a single-parent family.
this one, in fact. Thanks Kristi. Now where can I get $325?
LOL! That's a great cover! There are so many others that I like, as well :) And you're very welcome. But ooh - $325? *sigh* We have expensive taste, non?
