A friend of ours, Ryan Paul James, has written a play about the world of ART that runs this weekend through next in Pacific Palisades (Los Angeles.)
He is a great comedy writer and I’m sure this one will be a smash. Graciously offering to bring some attention to Vernon’s cause, he is putting some of our family artwork in the gallery-setting of the stage. Here are a few…
These are some of Vernon’s “works in progress.” I couldn’t tell they were not finished so I just put them up on the walls anyway. If you have a problem with this, Vern, you can complete them when you get home. Make it a goal.
A newly discovered Jean Michelle Basquiat. Er…I mean, Justine Harper Adams.
They have put a few on mine up in the show as well. Here is a blast from my past.
Maki is a fantastic painter too, but he was out of town so could not be reached for his contribution. I have seen some of his artwork made this summer in New Zealand, though. So good!
If you are interested in seeing the show, please click HERE for info. Half-price tickets are available for this weekend if you enter “008” at checkout.

As for Vernon today…he continues to show signs of improvement…lots of activity on his left side, more mini-smiles on request, and he even mouthed a couple of words (I think) which I may share later. Feels too close to the heart today. Bear with us.
