Dandelion Wine!


Wow! I met Ray Bradbury today! I read Dandelion Wine at the start of every summer. He is my hero. Am excited to read his brand new sequel ' Farewell summer". What an inspiration! He was gracious enough to pose for a picture. Thank you Mr. Bradbury.

er, pimimond...

Did you have a cartoon in The Village Voice in the 80's?
 
Yeah ! It's THAT Mimi Pond!
 
Cool... as I suspected. Her screen name had a ring of familiarity to me. Jumbled up spelling of her name.

I'm a Graphic Artist / (Sunday) Painter / East Coast Girl. Attended Pratt Institute, Brooklyn / Manhattan during the 80's, lived in the East Village 89-91.

Keep on Cobblin' .
 
Mimi, (please excuse me phranc)

I put a little on my chewy blog page. We may have brushed shoulders in the East Village, but never met. I lived on Houston at the corner of Avenue A. My hangouts; Sidewalks, 7A, Pyramid, Cave Canem, Crazy Nannies, Cubby Hole, SoHo galleries, museums. I wore the basic artist "black uniform" with silver chains and big combat boots.

I would read your comic in the Village Voice. Mimi Pond is a name that sticks and I like the way you draw your letterforms.

A friend informed me that Phranc is making kraftpaper sculpture... which intrigued me and I found my way to this blog.
 
Mimi,

I worked at the Stat Store on Fifth Ave. near Danceteria. Went to Danceteria on Sunday nights. Loved the three floors, the elevator and I think I recall going out on the rooftop a few times. Now that I think about it... I went to a lot of clubs. Private Eyes, Area, MK's, Limelight, The Garage, Milk Bar, The Tunnel, Pyramid... Now I mostly stay at home and deal with peri-menopause. Ha!

Oh, and I have been working on my Blog. Please visit it.

Nice chatting with you.
 
Wow! Your stuff is amazing! Glad I found your link on afterellen.com.
