Jason Polan is trying to draw every person in New York
Jason Polan’s ambitious challenge of drawing every person in New York seems to be working out. His blog is now filled with pages of great sketches, from celebrities and friends to random strangers in Taco Bell. You can even get drawn too. Just email him “a street corner or other public place that you will be standing at for a duration of two minutes.” Sound good? Looks great. More info here

Artorialust: Diet in Los Angeles
Our friend Diet was down in LA for Andres Guerrero and Albert Reyes’ show at Subliminal Projects. I ran into him in SF, and he hooked me up with the disposable. That city is nice.
Newton Vineyards
While in California last week, I had the chance to visit an old friend up in the wine country and tour an outstanding vineyard. Newton was established in 1977 after co-founder Su Hua fell off her horse on Spring Mountain (the vineyard’s site), and was rescued by a rancher who conveniently told her that the land was for sale. Needless to say, she and her husband Peter Newton bought the property and the rest is history. Only about 2500 people get to visit the winery each year, so I felt honored to be one the few. The wine is fantastic, and White House approved.
Random fact: The Vineyard was featured in Japanese Sideways.
Babes of Yore: Sharon Tate
