who have supported me thru the year.

More beautiful snowmen.
I want to thank everyone for the many snowmen people have sent me in the past weeks. I enjoyed them all but I had to pick just a few and so I picked the most unusual.
First from Fort Tryon Park in Manhattan by… Read full post »
Here's a round-up of great snowmen from the past week. This genius piece was produced by artist G Augustine Lynas.
With the snowstorms in the Mid-Atlantic I've been tied up doing very important press junkets...so I'm a little behind. Speaking of which...

Not only was this the first museum exhibition of Steampunk art but it was the most popular event the Museum of the History of Science has ever had. The show is in Oxford, England and up until February 21st for those in the area.
