Laura Stickney / A Retrospective

Spent the day in Laguna at Laura's art retrospective.  A gorgeous show covering the past forty years of Laura's amazing print and bookmaking.  

A great collaboration - Vilma makes the boxes, Laura makes the prints.  

Sammie Smulyan's Demo

Had fun putting together my first "kid" demo for Sammie Smulyan. I swear Zach and I think alike in so many ways.  We were even wearing the same colors that day.  

Yarn Bombing at the Alex Theater

With Miss Nancy Sullivan.  And as an extra surprise, we bumped in to the lovely Kathleen Noone.

The instigator of all of this fun....Joy Feuer

Mom's birthday

Celebrating Mom's birthday in Lompoc with my uncle Bob.  We took a nice walk at the mission.  Looking good mom!  

Another Great Class!!!

Talent galore.  I love working with pros and helping them find even more depth in their acting.  You can tell I love my job, right?  :)

Kids Intermediate Class

These kids make me happy!  

Mom comes to L.A.

Had a fun visit with mom, uncle Bob and cousins:

Day one of our staycation

Had a fun day tooling around L.A. today.  Me & Jimi

We went to LACMA for Friday night jazz

Played in the art

I said a prayer to the cat gods that my kitty would get better soon (the reason we're having a staycation).

Bollywood Night at The Music Center

One of my all time favorite things to do - dance at The Music Center!  Last night was Bollywood night.  Love the music and great vibes as hundreds of Angelino's dance the night away.

Kid's Character Development Class

Had a blast with these talented writer/voiceover artists.

On the last day of class we had a special guest.  Dee Bradley Baker joined us to teach the kids how to do monster and animal sounds. The kids went nuts!  I can't express the joy I felt as their eyes lit up watching Dee teach them how to make monster sounds.

Our thank you video to Dee:

First draft finished!

Oh, that wonderful feeling of finishing a script, buying our .com and registering with the WGA.

The Harkness Family Comes To L.A.!!!

It was beyond awesome to visit with my cousins from New Jersey. Even though we did the tourist thing (Grauman's, Hollywood Sign, Griffith Park, LACMA, The Grove) I still enjoyed every minute hanging out with them.

4th of July

Spent a beautiful day with friends celebrating the 4th of July at LACMA's Latin Music concert.  The weather was perfect and the music got us shaking our booties.

I love this picture because I made homemade chocolate chip cookies and the kids loved them.  Sophie is trying to negotiate another cookie from her mom and I think Eiko wants to keep one for herself :)

Instead of BBQing we opted for an Italian feast:
