24 December 2009 | Menton, France

This past year, I was brought in to consult on the interior design, grounds, and restoration process of Villa Tardieu on the Cotê d’Azur, specifically, Menton, France. The estate was built in the 1930s for a former prime minister of France, André Tardieu. The original architect situated the decidedly deco villa on the top of a mountain, with 360-degree views.

23 September 2009 | Singapore Summer

Swimming up from the dazed and confused state of mind attributed to modern air travel, my brain finally rebooted when I set my bags down at the Stamford Swisshotel in Singapore. And in a few days, when I made my way out of the spa, I was magically re-calibrated and began to explore the city. Ken was asked to come to LucasFilm Animation to teach and then tour the city on a lecture series about his artwork. While he was doing that, I instructed a figure drawing class that Lucas provides to aid in character animation.

: Arriving at Raffles Hotel

: Exploring vintage stores in Singapore

: Who wouldn't love this... I want to work here.

: How much of this can I fit in my bag?

: So... 630 puppets walk into a bar...

: Click!

: This beats the hell out of striped canvas awnings.

: I purchased this for one reason, the box read, Computerized Belt.

: Wangang Golack puppets

: Sketching at the Buddah tooth temple.

: So... 630 Buddahistavas walk into a bar...

: So... 630 Hindu Deities walk onto a bar.... this joke can go on forever.

: I was so struck by the color pallet.

: He's mine... you cant' have him.

: Typical chop house... I upper case LOVE these.

: Ken stealing shots of me in the market.

: I get it... 630 Hindu Deities walk onto a bar.

: Orchid garden atop the Buddah Tooth Temple

: Petting a puss puss in the street that reminds me of my cat, Irwin Lipshits

: Cocktails at Raffels

23 September 2009 | Singapore Summer II

Singapore Summer, continued…

Between our engagements, here is our short list…

Asian Civilization Museum: Great place to get out of the heat and draw.
Chinatown: Great place to stay in the heat and sweat, but it’s so damn fun.
Orchid Garden: Definitely a morning thing, but so gorgeous you want to pitch a tent and live there.
Arab Street: You want Indian textiles? Check and done.
Little India: You want anything else indian? Done.
Willow Spa: I love this place, cool underground and attached to the Stamford, stumbling distance.
Night Safari: This could never be possible in the states. You are so close to the critters.
Dr. Fish: Find them anywhere and for a few sing you can have an army of tiny fish eat the dead skin off your feet. Sounds gross, but…it is.
Singapore prides itself on it’s food, you can go into any hawker market and get the same quality of delicious food you would get in a fussy restaurant. It’s only deciding what kind of atmosphere you want. But if your stomach ever rebels against the…pepper that is in everything.
Le Crepe: A tiny French restaurant across from Raffles will calm your tummy and make you feel like you’re in Paris again.
