A few years ago I had a great experience in working with people at the
Swarthmore College, PA for their gallery show.  At the opening I met one of the
art professors, Michael Cothren, who was working on a college art text book
called “ART A Brief History”.  He was very generous in complimenting my work
and I had a lot of fun talking to him.  A few weeks later, he emailed me saying that
he was thinking about putting my work in the upcoming edition of the text book.
Of course I didn’t have any problem with it…

So I’ve been wondering if that will actually happen.  And last week, the book
came in the mail.  In it, I do see a picture of my work and very nice descriptions of
the work by professor Cothren.

Amazon‘s got it.

It’s really exciting to reach out to people learning about art and to take
a part in more fun in their lives.  As I wrote a few month ago, I myself
got into art through community college education.

Well, I know, it’s sort of weird and surreal.  Last time I felt like this
was when my wife decided to go out with me ten years ago.  I was like,
“wow, cute woman like that actually wants to be with me?”.  Good
things do actually happen sometimes.
