From the thumbnails pictured, it’s clear that creating approximately 115 pages of art, as well as the cover, was a mammoth undertaking. These are all for a graphic novel based on the book titled: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Don’t know how he accomplished it in only 5 months.

This very interesting audio piece was brought to my attention. It’s about the new art conservation lab at the National Portrait Gallery (Smithsonian). The conservation lab has been refurbished, the conservators are now behind glass and visible to the public at all times. They are dressed in Mizrahi designed aprons that are also for sale in the gift shop.

How brave they are.
