SW: Sticks & Stones & Ice Cream Cones (The Craft Book for Children) by Phyllis Fiarotta 1973

SW: Worst: Bulk soggy yellow pickles. Tolerable: Anything dill with enough garlic from the supermarket. Best: Fresh made pickles from a NY deli.

SW: It’s a pet peeve of mine when people listen to their music on the subway, but my favorite song right now is “A Cold Freezin’ Night” by The Books.

SW: It has changed my priorities and made me want to do more art based work on my own. I have less desire to work for a studio and more reasons to sit at home and work on crazy stuff.

SW: Art and design are separate things for me when it’s the difference between an art show and a design job, but design skills are used when I make art, and art skills are used when I do design work. Only each end product is for a different purpose. Since they’re coming from the same place (me) they’re going to be similar in approach. But, the client design work is more calculated, the art work is more free.
