New York is cold but not that cold, it's comfortable to walk around without a scarf or gloves. There are lot's of great street graphics everywhere, and will get photos of the better, more interesting ones I can find.
Tonight there's a talk to promote the release of the collected HUMBUG at The Strand book store with Al Jaffe, Arnold Roth and Gary Groth. No doubt there'll be a bunch of NY cartoonists/comic book artists there.
Today's important events consist of making phone calls to set up meeting for the rest of the week, followed by lots more wondering around. No much to report really, just seeing wall to wall concrete, drinking lot's of coffee and looking in books stores, just like home.
Stopped in a park to watch squirrels (we don't have squirrels in NZ) chasing each other and searching around for food, the little bastards are hard to photograph, they'll either turn their back to you or run fast enough in the opposite direction to get a furry blur, but they are super cute!
The Hollywood sign from the Griffith Observatory, the polluted air helps filter any good lighting out of photographing anything at a distance.
I thought it was cool to see the house where they filmed Six Feet Under.
Pretty grumpy that we arrived just a little too late to eat at Dr.Hogly Wogly's BBQ resturant. If there's a better named resturant anywhere in the world I've never heard it.
A "siesta" in the shaded doorway of Klasky - Csupo, a famous animation studio that made Rugrats and Duckman
The incredibly cool Silent Movie Theatre on Fairfax, part owned by cartoonist Sammy Harkham.
Another favourite tourist destination, the La Brea Tar Pits.
