Not Dead~ just traveling

Hi there!! i have been off traveling in Europe for a while now, taking a long breather from working, looking at some great art and having some great food, generally having the best time ever~ :D No real art update for now, as i am just mostly enjoying myself and looking at other people's art~ Shame on me... Soon tho! Here are some travel photos documenting some places i went~ Those of you that live there please bear with me~ :)

Paris in Winter! Cold but not so crowded~


Madrid, Spain~ another type of Sports bar!




Church in Toledo, Spain. it's impossible to take bad photos there apparently~

the Sistine Chapel~ About the only museum that allows us to take photos inside... :(



Florence~ my favorite city! For food, Gelato(!), and much calmer than Roma~

Venice at night, during the Carnival~

Our latest stop, Vienna, had a great surprise waiting: A Mucha Retrospective!!! Right after a Klimt one! It was AMAZING, anyone that can make it here should see it~ Goes to June 2, 2009. i am contemplating staying here just to go see it every other day~ :D No photos, of course! Damn...

Shelly, great to see you taking in some Euro Art.
Don't get too used to it, we need you to produce stuff for us to marvel at.
I'm in Vienna in three weeks time and am looking forward to catching the Mucha at the Belvedere.

Ah, takes me back to my 2 trips to Venice, Florence and Rome.
Tiepolo and Michelangelo were my faves.
Love to do it again sometime.

Dude you have a great style! I was wondering if you ever have done a Darth Vader? I am creating a tribute book to George Lucas called "100 Ways to the Darkside" where I am having 100 hand picked artist create Darth Vader. I would love one for the book in your style. Please let me know if your interested!

Thanks a million
