Drop me a line and let me know what you think, or if you are interested in a piece. Or you can visit another Sadie Rosenthal, or another. [...]

For some reason, I think – both because I was getting a little bored doing what I know how to do well and needed a challenge; and because I’m somewhat masochistic – I decided a while ago to do a couple of portraits. An absolutely gorgeous friend of mine sat for some photos back in [...]

I haven’t had time to go out and see the new documentary, but I strongly recommend you read this article in last week’s New Yorker. It’s a really nuanced, interesting piece.

I don’t have a tv, so the only time I see anything is when I travel. When I was in Albany for the mural I saw this incredible documentary on sacred harp singing. It’s an old, southern, a capella church singing style, and it’s just incredible. The website has more music on [...]

I’ve been meaning to post this for a while but kept forgetting… Tom Wood, one of the authors of the book on Jan Karski sent me a video clip of an interview with Karski from 1996:

You have to read this. Absolutely unbelievable – the weirdness of Bush technically having to oppose an execution in TX notwithstanding, this Court is just crazy.
At issue was whether the state had to give in to a demand by the president that the prisoner be allowed new hearings and sentencing.
Bush made that demand reluctantly, [...]

It has been a wild ride my friends! I’m a week and a half out of painting my mural at SUNY Albany’s Hillel – excited, nervous, happy – a mix of everything. We just got approval from the building committee, and I ordered the paint today… I kind of can’t believe this [...]

Ok, I realize this is completely random, but hey – why not? So, my acupuncturist wants me to be eating cooked pears – and if you know me, you know I’ve been getting into cooking the last couple of years, but I don’t really know what I’m doing. I’m so proud of myself [...]

It’s been an interesting day – I’m getting really close on some important things – both getting podcasting set up for work, and getting some key sketches done for the mural – but I feel like I’m taking one step forward and – not so much two steps back as pause, pause, hold my breath, [...]

Yesterday was kinda crazy – took Amtrak up to Albany to meet with the students and staff at the SUNY Albany Hillel where I’m going to be doing my mural. Also, importantly, to see the space. It was a great process – they students were there for a “back to school bbq” (great [...]

Life keeps being is stranger than I expect. I feel like I’m in this very odd period of flux – people are moving in and out of my life at a rate that is really getting strange. People who I thought were going to be around for a while are (or may soon be) gone, [...]

Ok, I’m trying to stay out of politics at this point (actually, it doesn’t take much effort – it’s such a killjoy who could stand it). But truth has been spoken – Barak says Hil’s campaign is “depressing“. No kidding! The entire Democratic field is depressing – we’re doing such a crappy job we’re just [...]

It’s apparently a week for welcomings, one of my best friends just had her baby, Megan Noel, and my neice just gave birth to Daniel Sky. Welcome two new souls to the world
So, there’s this really interesting organization I just learned about, the Adisia Project, that works with women who’ve immigrated to Israel from Etheopia, [...]

When so many things seem wrong with the world, and so much of it too overwhelming to do much about, here’s a simple way to make things a little bit better. Go to http://www.freerice.com – for every correct vocabulary question you answer the site’s sponsors donate 20 grains of rice to the UN [...]

However you feel about this war, take a minute out of your day to remember that many families don’t have the luxury we take for granted – having our loved ones here. Blessings and peace to all.
Ok – a p.s. – I’ve have really mixed feelings since I posted this because there’s nothing here [...]

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks – the silkscreen lab closed today for the winter break and I was trying to get a bunch of stuff finished before they shut the doors at 7pm. Didn’t quite happen (somehow I always want time for just one more screen…), but I got a lot done.
I’m a little [...]

Quote of the day “Singing opera made me good at painting.” – Homer Simpson
Out wandering today, mostly in SOHO, a bit in the Village – first day of snow, and pretty cold for much of it (seemed to get warmer as the day went on…).
Fell asleep last night watching Zeek sleep (there are [...]

On the subway home today I was re-reading a Pema Chodron and found the most wonderful thought – “The Buddhist teachings tell us that over the course of many lifetimes all beings have been our mothers. At one time, all these people have sacrified their own comfort for our well-being, and vice versa.” I read [...]

The Polish Consulate just unveiled a new statue of Jan Karski, at 37th and Madison. There’s no good way to sumarize him, go out and get a copy of Karski: How One Man Tried to Stop the Holocaust” By Thomas Wood and Stanislaw Jankowski.
P.S. – I happened to be randomly on that [...]
