http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-shepard-fairey-arrested-lax-20150712-story.html In today’s Los Angeles Times — this story about the arrest of artist (and RISD alum) SHEPARD FAIREY — caught my eye. In it, they referenced the “Street Art” exhibit that Museum of Contemporary Art did in 2011 — as created by the brilliant Jeffrey Deitch — and how, as a result of that…
Some people rush home from a summer vacation and hug their dog. Some people can’t wait to catch up on their favorite TV shows. Or get an old-fashioned American-style hamburger. Not me. I’m the person who rushes home to sit at her typewriter, and get caught up on all the letters I haven’t been able…
I like to congratulate people when they get promotions. It makes a difference to know someone’s cheering you on — and getting a note in the mail makes a new job seem even more real, somehow. Peter Loge has worked with the Producers Caucus and in Washington, D.C. as a lobbyist/media relations expert for years….

When she mentioned her fight for creative types — artists, producers, writers — I whispered to Vin, “You need to meet her & tell her about the Producers’ Caucus.” They…
After six days of ministering to my father — there were a few bright spots, including Amber Green. She was a beautiful blonde in her late 20’s or early 30’s, whose bright smile beamed into the room before she entered. My father noticed her immediately… and she continued to shine, helping me figure things out…
Meghan Michaud is a fellow Rhode Island School of Design Trustee. She saw that I posted about my father’s being ill — with a strange infection. She knew I was worried — and so came up with her own form of little red valentine: a typewriter on display at the RISD Museum. I thought that…
