Weekend at Lackawack
I have been back in New York for more than a month now! Last weekend I went up to Naomi's family's house near Ellenville, NY. I finally finished the roll of film I'd been working on all summer so now I've got lots of pictures to post. Here are some from the trip, I'll post older ones soon or see them all on Flickr

Laika Tour
I am in Seattle! Last week though I was in Portland and my friend Yair and I took a tour of Laika the animation studio where our friend Jessica works. They are working on a new movie called The Boxtrolls which will come out in September 2014. I'm not allowed to share what we saw on the tour because it is top secret but they did put out this short trailer last week.
After the tour we walked by miles of Intel parking lots to get to the train back to Portland and along the way we picked a whole lot of blackberries. Just picked some more a few blocks from Bone House, they're getting ripe everywhere because it's been so nice everywhere up here.
I'm going back to Portland on Tuesday and then I'm going to try to make it up to near Port Townsend to visit Rebecca on the farm where she works.

Trip to Austin and Book Trailer
I went to Austin, TX last week to visit my friend Jess and to finish our new children's book. The new book will be out May 5 and is called The Ungrumblies! The 4 days I was in Austin were over real quick and we only even made it out of the house a couple times. The one fun trip we did was out to Lake Travis where it was a little cold for swimming but perfect weather for throwing rocks. The highlight of the trip was getting to meet Captain and Bones, Jess and Ray's dogs! They are real nice and always hungry.
The new book is an alphabet book about food allergies inspired by Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies. It is an experiment in total collaboration, we both wrote and illustrated the book, traded off sketches, colored each other's drawings and will be binding the books when Jess and Ray come to visit next weekend. We are having a release party at Mellow Pages Library on the 5th from 2 to 5.
We also made a book trailer for the book, watch it here, tell your friends!

Cleanin Up This Place
I finally got around to making the videos from my tumblr fit in the sidebar and while I was at it I made the sidebar a little bigger and a little greener. Maybe I'll do some more cleanin up in a little bit? The blog could use a new header! And maybe some colors?

New Soup
Yesterday Brendan and Jennette came over for dinner and since I'm moving at the end of the month I was trying to clean out the pantry. I found:
3 sweet potatoes
a can of coconut milk
turmeric
ginger
AND it made a delicious soup! Here is the recipe:
BILL'S ORANGE SOUP
Cut up sweet potatoes into smaller pieces, boil for 30 minutes until the skins come off easily. Put back in the pot without the water and combine with coconut milk. Mush it all up real nice and grate in as much ginger as you can. Then add 2 Tbsp of turmeric. Put some cilantro on top unless you are Lesley.
That's it! Great orange soup!

FIND A SPARK
Since November I have been real busy trying to put things together, Jess and I are working on a new alphabet book about food allergies, it will come out in MARCH! Also I have been trying to focus with what my friend Naomi R. has dubbed my "monthly mantras":
September: HAVE FUN EVERY DAY
October: SAY YES TO EVERYTHING
November: MAKE IT HAPPEN
December: CHANGE IT UP
January: FIND A SPARK
I have been in LA for a week and a half and tomorrow I fly to SF for 2 and a half dream days, then back to NYC on Sunday night. Today Bonnie took us to NEW BOHEMIA SIGNS: EAST ON SUNSET which was great and now I will try to make all the illustrations for out book even brighter!
More blogging 2-0-1-3 I think.

Occupy Sandy
I worked for three days last weekend on hurricane relief, on Friday in Red Hook, Brooklyn serving food, on Saturday in Far Rockaway unloading trucks that were arriving with supplies and helping sort them, and on Saturday in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn first canvasing the neighborhood for extra hurricane supplies people no longer needed, then sorting supplies that were coming in and putting together "blackout kits" with flashlights, batteries, candles and matches.
I am going to try to go back today to 520 Clinton Ave where I was working on Sunday. There is a distribution hub there for supplies going out to all affected areas. There is another storm coming in today which is scary for the many areas of the city that still do not have power!

Halloween Sandy
I am here! Brooklyn seems relatively unaffected by the hurricane so far! I spent the last two days in Clinton Hill weathering out the storm. We went for a walk around 8PM last night and it wasn't too crazy out, though in other parts of the city it seems like it was. This morning we walked over to DUMBO and saw few downed trees and about 5 foot high flood waters on the buildings at the waterfront.
The subways, however, seem to be a completely different story! Nobody will ever go back to work I think. I would be surprised to see even limited subway service resume before next Monday but it could be longer. They started running buses today and full service is supposed to resume tomorrow. Both the bookstore and the MOUSE office still have no power, not sure when anything will happen in Lower Manhattan again.

October Trips
The last three weekends I have been able to leave the city which is something that almost never happens so I was very excited about it! The first weekend I went up to my friend Anna's Family's house on Grindstone Island, one of the Thousand Islands in the St. Lawrence River. There is no bridge to the island and no roads on the island so the only way to get around is by boat! On Sunday we took a boat ride in a crazy old wooden power boat and we scooted around some of the Canadian islands, going into Canada for an hour or so.
Here is the crazy house we stayed in, it had at least 5 bedrooms and a giant room upstairs with 8 beds in it!
Here we are on the Sunday boat ride and then the view of one of the side houses down the island:
The following weekend I went up to Rhode Island with my friends Eric, Anastasia and Rachel to Eric's uncle's house to do a big apple cider pressing. We went up a day early to explore Rhode Island a little and to explore some thrift stores:
Then last weekend I drove up to my friend Naomi's grandma's house near Ellenville, NY for her birthday. We spent a long time walking around in the woods looking for a swimming spot but never found it! I forgot to take any pictures except for this one of her in the house on the phone:

September Jam
There is tons of summer fruit in the store so I have been spending a lot of time making jam, hopefully I can make enough to last all year! So far I have made two kinds of plum jam (pluot and golden plum), nectarine jam and most recently tomato-pineapple jam! After work in Queens on Saturday I'm gonna ride by all the fruit stands I used to go to in Rego Park to see if I can pick up some cheap berries or peaches!
On the left, pluot jam being made, on the right nectarine, golden plum and plut jam:

West Coast Pictures
Finally got my pictures from WA/CA last week but I haven't had time to put them up yet. Feels weird that some of these were less than a month ago because it seems like I've already been in New York for months.
