bonus post - cathy's ramirez

http://uspsstamps.com/stories/martin-ramirez

bonus post today. hopefully everyone will take time to read the story about this artist. somewhat sad story because he did not get to live on his own, and he did not have the best art supplies. but, he did get to make art and the state was keeping a roof over his head - so, maybe he ended up with more opportunities than he would have if he had been out on his own. hard to tell. at least he made the best of the situation.

cathy attended a workshop with Yves Leterme. he is a complete and utter rock star. those look like simple block caps, but they are actually very sophisticated.

thank you, cathy. i can't wait to start my ramirez series.

  1. Stunning. And stunningly fast considering the stamps were just released.

    I'm looking forward to seeing what your Ramirez series looks like, Jean.
