The deer were checking out the same neighborhood garage sale we were visiting! A mama and her baby loped right in front of us as we left. The weather is pleasant and warm for the official first day of Autumn this year.

In The Community: Saturday at the Hockaday Museum of Art -- updating the website, and taking down a banner advertising the antique show, 'way down in Somers.

Media Watch: PBS' American Masters had a well-documented program about Andy Warhol. I attended one of those events where he "mass produced" himself for the lecture circuit by sending out a bunch of imposters around 1967. The University of Utah wanted their money back!
The documentary rubbed me the wrong way once or twice -- Jeff Koons would NEVER be my choice for Warhol voice-overs, and it isn't accurate to divide his life into pre-shooting and post-shooting halves -- just convenient. The name Joe Delasandro never came up once, although it was great seeing Paul Morissey, Billy Name, and other Warhol associates. (Why in the HELL wasn't Mary Woronov interviewed? She was on the scene at The Factory too, and went on to success without Warhol's gang. Screw them -- visit her website, if you haven't already -- she's fabulous!)

Masques On Parade, at the Hockaday Museum of Art.
My entry to the Autumn Salon of 2006 -- it is a digital watercolor composed from a half dozen photographs taken at Footsbarn's parade in Montluçon, France. Oh yeah, that's me holding it.
