Off topic: Are you involved with the Brooklyn Rail? If so, good on you.
I’ve wriiten for the Rail since 2002…do you read it?
It’s crazy how occasionally one come across items that could have/perhaps did, serve as the genesis for items that then become ubiquitous.
I once stumbled across the published sketchbook of an artist from the 60s-70s whose drawings look suspiciously similar to Jonathan Adler’s animal menagerie.
Funny how things like that happen…
hv: I read it occasionally. I read it regularly when I lived in Brooklyn.
