OF NOTE:
that black plastic band on the palm tree
keeps the iguanas from climbing
to
delicious orchids.

Those who follow Jimmy Buffett's
tunes and island lifestyle are

NEW STUDIO- new post


I Have
a new studio.
Smally wedged between
the
PELICAN POOP
(where Hemmingway stayed in the 30's)
and the nice folk
in a custom t-shirt shop. 
It has a palm tree in front of its 700 square feet.

Obsolete wording on its blue awning
 indicates I have tourist info. and maps of Key West.
This is not so. I have a work table and 
a thermos of green tea and Cuban tile floors.


I have a new front door whose glass
is polished daily as one would detail a new car for
the first week.
My redwood sign is an artifact from
my gallery/studio in Laguna Beach, CA.
People that stop for maps occasionally remain to look at my work.
I've had a sale!


All THIS
in preparation for the closure of
SEVEN ARTISTS
and a showing in January here.
