Seth: Wimbledon Green Signed in 2011 with a Sketch

Seth's 2005 book Wimbledon Green is subtitled The Greatest Comic Book Collector in the World. One doesn't have to be be a world-class comics collector to appreciate the book, but certainly an obsessively acquisitive habit of some degree couldn't hurt. Perhaps one of the finest personalized copies of this book out there was sold earlier this year on eBay:

eBay Item Description

Three related eBay listings show Seth's book covers rather than the unique sketches. That simply can't be a good business practice.

Note: Is it possible for this blog to have too many original drawings by Seth? Send me scans or photographs of what you have and we'll find out.

Peter Max: Statue of Liberty Serigraph

This serigraph entitled Statue of Liberty by Peter Max caught my eye because it's from the same U.K. eBay seller with the original Ilonka Karasz New Yorker cover art I wrote about just recently here. The serigraph is dated 1994, yet it bears a 2005 Peter Max copyright stamp, which concerns me just a tad. The seller has a slightly less-than-ironclad disclaimer as well regarding authenticity. Nevertheless, for my purposes, which is to celebrate America's independence in a colorful way, this will do just fine.

The 2005 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

These photos of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade were taken by me on November 24, 2005 from an apartment overlooking Columbus Circle in New York City. The high vantage point will be unfamiliar to most viewers. It gives a good sense of the scale of the event, and it's great to see how many people enjoy the parade from viewing stands,balconies, windows, and the street. These photos and videos represent only a small selection of the balloons and floats and they were taken during the latter part of the Parade that day.
