news

i have been neglecting the blog, b/c i haven't painted in a little bit, but i should be keeping you my faithful readers posted with other fun news, for example, the animal-painting workshop i taught with jimmy, or hangin out with angelina jolie and wyclef jean the other night. unfortunately, i failed to get any good pictures from either. i do however, have some great pics of the newest addition to our family:

for those of you who don't know, this is alfred, the little baby squirrel who we nursed back to health with water and bird seeds after finding him stranded on our windowsill curled up and looking very ill. he now basically lives in our little herb garden, leaving only here and there to go exploring. he's pretty cool, and he keeps papi entertained.

also, i've bragged to a few of you on behalf of our old roommate yoni (aka baby buster) about the new video for the Beirut song "Elephant Gun" that his sister directed. i'm so impressed, it's so wonderful. if you haven't seen it, you should check it out:
