The cover for the third Julia Gillian book coming out this spring.
I'll post more about it when it is released but

A beautifully written book!

Aquarium..at the California Academy of Sciences.


Musee Mechanique




Last Gasp 4oth anniversary art show.




My pal DIrty Donny's sweet ride that he rebuilt.


Alcatraz!


Charles Schulz Museum Santa Rosa beside Snoopy's skating rink. Loved visiting here, a beautiful museum.
Wonderful to see his drawing table and studio set up.
The wall is made of individual comic strips.






The Castro. Lovely old theatre. We went and saw Cool Hand Luke.



And no trip is complete without increasing the weight of my luggage with books so
heres most of my goodies.



My plane reading was Jules Feiffers autobiography which was quite good.
