 I am crossing my fingers that I can go.
But my job may get in the way for this one, I would love to talk with Tomie again.
Also
 a review of my artwork that has warmed my heart this morning
and I thought I would share it.
 
"Stephen's artwork betrays a deep identification with the lives and consciousness of children. I see the drawings he makes as containing whole worlds and stories within those worlds. The inanimate objects and animals are like people, who themselves have stories to tell. His work is joyously colorful and full of lines that seem never to stand still. I am transported in the same way I am when I listen to storytelling or spend an hour just following the thoughts and play of an imaginative, charismatic,and heart-centered child."
