  • While waiting for lunch…
    „I never tire of the classic diner still life. There's always about a 15-20 minute time limit from when the order goes in to when the food is on the table. After the food arrives I can't badger my table mate to keep her hands off the still life. The time limit focuses the brain better than coffee does.“
  • Banknote Engraver
    „Christopher Madden is one of the few people who creates the artwork that appears on U.S. paper money. He works at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving in Washington, DC, one of only three master artists and three apprentices. I visited him last month for a rare tour of his workshop. It took ten years of apprenticeship for Mr. Madden to get where he is now. One of the milestone projects was to do an engraved portrait of President Obama. “
