Above is Diane Launier, proprietress and co-curator of Galerie Arludik and me, in front of a broken window where my little one man show will open this Thursday evening in Paris. She is very upset because sometime in the wee hours of the parisian night, someone smashed the window of the gallery and made off with only one thing, a copy of my new book, A Sketchy Past.
I'm not making this up!
Naturally, she was very unhappy about it.
Naturally, I wasn't.

i wonder if the criminal thought the title "a sketchy past" meant it was a book about learning how to be better at crime? only to later realize it was an art book!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't me. I was nowhere near Paris.
ReplyDeleteHOLY crap!
ReplyDeleteThis should be made into a movie starring Edward Norton and Philip Seymour Hoffman. NO...WAIT.....Jean Paul Belmondo! YAH!
Great youstream the other day Peter.
Best of luck with your big show.
Haha1!! Good comment. I think I'd be complimented as well. It's not everyday that someone is willing to go to jail for you!
ReplyDeletegrrr.. O_o I really hate that thief because he got your book! >:(
ReplyDeleteAll the best with your show. :)
Regards,
Charles
Seriously, why are you not unhappy about all of this?
ReplyDeleteGeo
It's a steel at any price! :o)
ReplyDeleteSomeone had to say it!
That is hilarious! BTW, it was me, this is a great book!
ReplyDeleteThe ultimate compliment...I promise to pay for my copy!!!
ReplyDeleteDiane is such a good sport for posing for that photo! :) Must be quite a nice thing to know that your book was the only thing they wanted when they could've taken a load of stuff too!
ReplyDeleteThe thing is that the thief couldn't have his precious little sketch in his 'stolen' book! XD
ReplyDeleteThanks for the 'brother of Scrat sketch' you draw in mine at Artludik. ;D
best ever!
ReplyDeleteBon chance avec le exhibition.
MD
The thief didn't take an ORIGINAL?? I'm assuming the book was the only thing within arm's reach. You know you've made it when people are stealing your art. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteyeah - a great story. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI am very happy with my little sketch (a man with a cat hat).
