Halloween (Park Slope)
The Miles Takeuchi Family stalking scary Park Slope’s Fifth Ave. Max ended up being a frog. Julie is an extra from Cats—I think. And I’m your typical Park Slope Organic Cereal Killer--it’s hard to see my Friday the 13th stripes. Photo by Jane Udelson.
Below is the original costume we made for Max, a 2 Train subway car, now serving as a stuffed panda ottoman. A few hours were spent with a glue gun, cutter knives, stencils and paint. It was a great costume, just not for a 2-year old, who just didn’t want to get inside. Boo hoo hoo!
A Paper Motorcycle (Prospect Heights)
My studiomate, Matthew Northridge, an amazing sculptor, created this stunning retro motorcycle entirely out of paper products--construction paper, foamcore--and some bits of wood here and there. It’ll be appearing in a Bergdorf Goodman holiday window very soon.
And on the left side, the side away from the window display, you can see some of the hidden interior:
Empire State at Night (from Chelsea)

Just testing out a new lens, how handholdable it is even at night. Not bad for a heavy 25-year-old 80-200 zoom.
Bird (Prospect Heights)
We woke up this morning to find this baby bird clinging to our window screen. It was very special, like one of those beautiful deer in the fog moments.
LMCC Open Studios (Wall Street)
It was a night of beards. Sadly mine was to scruffy to compare. A few of my LMCC 2007-8 fellow residents came out for the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Open Studios evening, from left to right: Mike Estabrook, Clive Murphy, and John Talbird.
