How about this San Diego heat wave? In the space of 3 days, we went from needing to turn on the heater around here, to using the A/C. In that sweet early-morning temperature spot before the sizzling begins, I take advantage and make acrylic art paper. Each color dries so fast that I can put down 2-3 layers and be ready to use the paper for books that same afternoon. Try this at home, just be sure to wear sunblock.

 

Art paper to artist's book

This robot-themed altered book will be on display at the Rancho San Diego County Library starting June 5th.

Arts and Culture lane change alert: Oscar awards go out tonight. My own favorite feature-length movie from 2025 was A House of Dynamite. Didn’t get a single nod from the Academy. Whatever.
