Let's jump on the magic subway and visit some of my NYC memories...
*
I remember so well the Chelsea Hotel...
*
...the bus stop signs...
*
*
...and fire escapes reminiscent of the Moon River scene in Breakfast at Tiffany's
*
*
*
*
...and giant posters on the sides of apartment buildings...
*
*
*
*
*
*

...and famous faces up in lights!
(Go here to get your 5 minutes of fame)
Now I'm really wondering what was in those sugar cubes you were handing out !
ReplyDeleteI assure you those sugar cubes I was handing out passed the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test of Pure Sweetness with flying colours!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of trips, Owen, I was flabbergasted to learn that you married the Mad Lady of Shallot! I guess Tennyson got the story wrong.
Up in lights in NYC, wow, your are popular!
ReplyDelete(Thanks for the pointer... what a wacky 15 minutes of fame site)

Hey David,
ReplyDeleteFame is wacky, one way or another!
'Nothing happens in the world, before it is not written in the Times.' (Motto of the Times-editors)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get me the early morning edition in a few hours.
Please have a nice new week.
Thanks for the tip, Robert. Will now have to work on getting my picture in the Times! Wishing you an enjoyable week as well, as August gasps its last breath. sigh
ReplyDeleteOh how exciting, I'm going to get me some FAME!
ReplyDeleteI would have to scan in my pix from NYC, taken about 17 years ago but there might be some fun stuff there...
Bring it on, Saj! The champers is chilling in anticipation of drinking a toast to your soon-to-be found FAME! (Perhaps I'll just get a little head start here...)
ReplyDeleteoooh, I heard a cork pop and forgot where I was going....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post. I love the hotel photo and the others, too. I could spend way too much time here and not get anything done. I'm such a sloth.
ReplyDeleteHi Lynne
ReplyDeleteyou are a dag...that's a term of endearment, for someone slightly wacky...but ever so nicely so...
Happy days
Focus, Saj, focus!
ReplyDeleteHey Karen, You can hang out here as much as you want. I must admit that I spend far too much time lurking about OPB's (Other People's Blogs)myself.
ReplyDeleteHi Delwyn, Thanks? Always nice to be treated to a term of endearment. In "real" life I'm very quiet but the wackiness comes through in this virtual realm...and probably in my art. I must admit, sometimes my sense of humour gets me into a wee bit of trouble. Nice when it's appreciated.
ReplyDeleteBoy, are you havng fun with Photo Shop! :) These are hilarious! and truly seamless--no one could ever tell! I've got a new scanner but am waiting for that techno help that's slow in coming! Don't you miss New York? Listen to this: Georgia O'Keeffe at the Whitney in September and also in Sept Kandinsky at the Guggenheim. Sigh... I am going to a Leonard Cohen concert at Madison Square Garden in October, though... Song Saturday! xxox
ReplyDeleteOMG Margaret!!! A plethora of goodies. I've never even seen one O'Keefe up close, live and in-person. And I went to the Guggenheim expecting it to be packed with Kandinskys and I saw one! I was sooo disappointed. There was a big exhibit on of Frank Lloyd Wright.
ReplyDeleteAlso, tried to get tickets to a Leonard show but it was sold out. (if you click the "Chelsea Hotel" highlighted text in this post, you will be whisked off to a vintage Cohen interview + song, btw). Other than those small glitches, I loved my visit to New York. Wish I could go again.
I didn't have to Photoshop those posters. Just follow the link I provided and you, too, can plaster your picture onto all sorts of crazy photographic situations.
But, yes, I do keep myself amused in Photoshop.
Hugs to you!
um,. how comne we can't leave comments on your last post? Are you too pissed to post? Can I even say that? EEK>
ReplyDeleteI just felt like shutting up shop here for a bit because...well, things are really just too dull to blog about right now so I'd rather hang out in my studio. I know it was rude of me to just slam the door, so I put a sign up now. Sorry if I pissed you off by removing the comments box for that post. I figured if anyone really had something to say to me, they'd figure out how to find me. Well done, Saj!
ReplyDeleteI know the door is closed at the moment.
ReplyDeleteWe're looking forward to hearing from you shorty when time has come!
Take care
Loulou
