Our first meeting couldn’t have made a better impression—a confection of meat (in the form of stamps), a life sized bunny (a very obliging friend considering the hot weather), Abe Lincoln (self-promoting as the Best Abe Lincoln ever, second only to the real Abe and important because Ryden was the first artist to paint the president) and polaroids! ;-)

All this at MOCA for Mark Ryden’s “Fushigi Circus” signing.
