Recently world renowned Artist Dr. J Eugene Grigsby requested to personally view my fine-art exhibit entitled "Everyone Could Use A HERO showing at the Central Art Gallery inside the Phoenix Public Library, but there was only one small problem. Dr. Grigsby is confined to a wheelchair and could not get over to view my exhibit. So what did I do...??? I brought the exhibit over to Dr. Grigsby's art studio home so that he could view the exhibit. He loved it!!! Now let me explain the history about this incredible creative and talented individual. He is a World War II Veteran who never received his medals (my staff and I are currently heading a campaign to Washington to get this man what he so rightly deserves)...; he also stood alongside the original Tuskegee Airmen (as he was friends with a good many of them), he is 94yrs young and will hold a conversation that would rival any orator walking today!!! He is THAT sharp!!! I could mention so much more about this perfect example of what a human being should be and act like; but I'm afraid that I would be biased. Truthful, but yet biased. Peace, dear Dr. Grigsby. My words alone can not express... *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE, inc.

Vintage July 20, 1942 issue of Life Magazine with a great vintage fashion short coat leggy pin-up cover. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!
No other person at the Algonquin Round Table loomed larger over the group than Robert E. Sherwood. When the group started meeting in June 1919, he was a Harvard graduate and combat veteran of World War I. Sherwood was a writer briefly on Vanity Fair, before moving to the original Life humor magazine. In his late twenties he got serious about writing plays. Sherwood went on to win four Pulitzers: three for Broadway dramas and one non-fiction award for a book about President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Sherwood was a longtime New Yorker who loved the theater and working with actors; but he was very political and that always showed in his work.
From The Algonquin Round Table New York: A Historical Guide, to be published Dec. 2014 from Lyons Press. By Kevin C. Fitzpatrick, with a foreword by Anthony Melchiorri. For more information, visit algonquinroundtable.org.
During the Golden Age of American Illustration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, artists like Charles Dana Gibson could become wealthy celebrities. They could become rich and famous by creating drawings and paintings for newspapers, books, magazines, and commercial advertising.
Gibson was educated at the Art Students League of New York and wanted to create paintings for publication, but the marketplace definitely favored his pen-and-ink drawings. That preference was so strong that his “Gibson Girl” became an ideal image of youthful American femininity, and Gibson’s drawings of her were responsible for the success of several magazines. At the height of his career, Gibson was paid $100,000 for 100 drawings over a four-year period (well over $1 million today), and he was later able to purchase “Life” magazine with a syndicate of successful illustrators.

Over a thousand Chicagoans from all over the city, gathered at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by David Lang.
I just had to include this photo of Hollywood star, Rock Hudson. He was asked to weigh in on the debate over the Mini vs. the Midi skirt issue. Of the Midi he was quoted as saying "Yechh!"
Rather interesting in hindsight...

Paperback. Rare! I was not able to locate another copy. 1062 pages. Though there is no publisher's date inside the book, it was published in 1920. There is an inscription inside the front cover on the first page dated 1926. Two publishers listed. London: Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Ltd. New York_Charles Scribner's Sons. This copy is printed in Great Britain. The pages contain some browning, indicative of a 92 year old book. The pages are almost completely separated from the spine between pages 30 and 31. There is some tearing of the front and back covers and both contain an emblem with scrolling ribbon which the owner wrote her name in, in pencil. The paper cover over the spine is missing. Considering its age, this book is in remarkable condition. All pages are intact. The book contains: Contents: Troilus and Cressida, Coriolanus, Titus Andronicus, Romeo and Juliet, Timon of Athens, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, King Lear, Othello, the Moor of Venice, Antony and Cleopatra, Cymbeline, Pericles.
