tea paintings! and classical music as comic-strip character
Yesterday an editing client sent me a painting (digitally) that he had commissioned to go with his book. It is VERY cool. So I looked up the artist and also the studio he works for, and found that both keep clever blogs, and they blog about tea! And also paint with it. Not only does this post tell us the origin of tea and explain why it’s a mark of civilization, it also has tea paintings.
After that I surfed some more and found out that in Peanuts, classical music was a character in its own right. Schroeder wasn’t just playing around.

Thanks for posting that Peanuts link! That’s really interesting – being a musician myself, I’ve always liked the musical subplots when watching the Peanuts specials.
Hi there Rachel…love your blog. I’m from Toronto…and it’s good to meet someone from “close to home.” I’ve been looking all over to find your email address to correspond about some of your services. Could you email directly? Thanks so much!

Hi Kathy! I emailed you. If for some reason you don’t receive it, my email address is thomson.rachel AT gmail.com (just substitute @ and close up the spaces … I’m fooling evil Web robot spammers by not just giving the email addy straight).
