My father was naturally a great storyteller. He always started with what was almost the end of the story, so he threw you a hook, but then he went back to the middle. He was a great storyteller, always finding ways to get new hooks here and there, to get you to listen to a long story.
Last fall, I bought a ton of marble scraps off a sculptor in Woodstock for like, $10 off Facebook. For sandwiches and cakes, crumbling asphalt parking lots are good. When I lived in Sunset Park, they demolished a building a couple blocks from my apartment, and there was a hole in the fence, so I'd go in there and find tons of cool shapes and textures of rubble.
When my startup was raising $35 million in Series A funding, it was naturally a very intense period for our company. We were heads down, with everyone coming to the office early and leaving very late, five to six days a week. Coming out of that time, one of our team members brought her dog, Ollie, to the office, and he kind of became our secret productivity hack.
I'm originally from Texas, but have lived in New York for 40 years. I always feel privileged when the universe seems to say, 'Today I am going to present you with a fabulous snowstorm—enjoy the performance!' My view consists of the Empire State Building, which is art deco, the B Altman Building, which is Italian renaissance revival, and the beautiful Church of the Incarnation, which is neo-gothic.

For many in these animal-friendly open doors, the inclusion of a creature or two is indicative of the overall attitude of their home: They live in family spaces that are ready to absorb whatever damage kids or animals might throw at it. For others, animals might be confined to a certain space, allowing investment furniture pieces to escape unscathed from any unwanted scratch marks or stains.

Each pet expresses their own personality; the illustrations are simple, yet tell us so much about each individual cat. Gomatsu captured each in a specific moment, and then amplified the action, expression or energy through his characterful drawings. Brown is holding a cold, rigid blank stare while 노호유 is caught mid-clean. Yuki has a mischievous grin, and Bao looks like a stern bouncer (definitely not letting you in).
In 1835, a tortoiseshell cat measuring more than three feet long was enough to warrant a small advertisement in a British newspaper that as "the greatest curiosity ever shown to the public," it could be viewed at the Ship Tavern in London. Surely a pint of ale was the informal fee to view this extraordinary animal. It was during the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe that cats became increasingly recognized as worthy pets, beyond their role as mousers.
One recent weekday morning, the British painter Peter Doig arrived at a bonded warehouse-a cavernous brick building-about a mile south of the River Thames, but not subject to the import taxes of the United Kingdom. He buzzed through security and entered a windowless white room, where he settled in for a long day. Awaiting him were a series of etching prints that had been brought over from the United States to be signed by Doig before being put up for sale.
With most of us, 90 minutes of reminiscing wouldn't make for scintillating theater. Gert Boyle, as played by Wendy Westerwelle, is the exception to that rule. The late Gert came to fame when she took the reins of Columbia Sportswear after her husband's death in 1970 and also became the "One Tough Mother," with gray hair and glasses, of its comedic '80s and '90s ad campaigns. In one, she put her son, Tim, through a carwash to test the durability of a coat.
Mornings are best for concentrated work. In the winter, I turn on the heat at 8am and get started around 10am. Summer, I start around 9am. I have two areas in the studio for projects. The large, heavy wood sculptures are carved in the front section of the studio, closest to the roll-up wide door. Smaller sculptures are placed on a hydraulic workbench. Before I start, I focus, connect with the Source, and ask for guidance.
The artist is known for his absurdist paintings of animals with overly long legs, contorted bodies, or myriad mutant-like heads or limbs. They're often set amid woodlands or meadows evocative of 18th- and 19th-century academic landscape paintings or depictions of formal hunts. Instead, both domesticated and wild animals graze as normally as they would without dozens of heads or udders attached in unnatural places around their bodies.
Remember that moment at the dog park when you see two golden retrievers, with one bouncing around with bright eyes and a glossy coat, and the other just going through the motions with a dull expression despite being perfectly groomed? Both dogs are clearly loved and cared for, but something deeper separates them: It's the difference between a dog that's genuinely flourishing and one that's simply being maintained.
I grew up with cats when I was a little kid but my love of black cats began when I moved from New York to LA in 1996 and found four feral black cats in my back yard. Almost immediately, two female cats got knocked up and had two litters at the same time. Suddenly, we had 13 black cats, the most I'd ever cared for at once.
Picture this: your friend's golden retriever rolls over during a backyard barbecue, exposing that soft, pink belly. Everyone reaches down to give those irresistible tummy rubs. The dog's tail wags, everyone laughs, and it becomes the highlight of the afternoon. We've all been there, right? That exposed belly seems like the universal dog invitation for affection. But what if I told you that sometimes, that belly display means the exact opposite of what we think?
