Art for the climate

I wandered into work at four on Monday with a terrific hangover and very little sleep. I was informed by my boss that the woman who was throwing an event for the Climate Project (an event that would be held at my studio the next day) had seen my drawings around the office and was wondering if I could create a large display all along the entryway into the event. I was kind of freaked out, but who could turn down the opportunity to make art all night long, especially for an organization that spreads the teaching of our should-be president, Al Gore.
Long story short, I worked straight from four in the afternoon until one in the morning, got home by one thirty, got three and a half hours of sleep, and went right back to work, painting and hanging from six-thirty until ten in the morning. I don't think I've ever been this productive in my entire life. I'm exhausted. Go to my flickr account to see the rest of it (for a size reference, the giraffe is about as tall as me if I stretch my arms up all the way)

Wow! This work is amazing! I got really happy looking at it.
Karen got really sad because the work was so good!
Whee!!!
This is truly stunning. I'm so proud of you. And exploding with love/joy/impressed...ivity.
Also, I've been wanting to go to the zoo, but I think that now I can wait at least until spring.
(ps: I like the giraffe and the manatee the best.)
i REALLY need to get to nyc. Love from daddy-o.
they're beautiful, lou!

Well, that's it. Gary posted a comment on a web blog. Consider my mind blown. Also, consider my mind blown over your art. I'm so proud of you, wifey!
