Time in 3:00pm + I like your work: art and etiquette

I've been reading a new publication just put out by Paper Monument titled "I like your work: art and etiquette" which I highly recommend. 38 contributors (artists, curators, critics and dealers) offer their thoughts on art world etiquette. It's only $8 and is worth it for the laughs and (unfortunately accurate) insight. 

Some highlights: 

Guidelines for Openings by Andrew Berardini
How Artists Must Dress by Roger White
Anchors Aweigh, Some Advice For Those About to Enter.... Show Business by Bob Nickas

and many other etiquette suggestions as well as favorite awkward moments and faux pas. (It seems the awkwardness of the "cheek kiss" greeting at art openings and other functions is fairly standard in the US.)

Getting back to the studio:

To do: 
Get some fiberglass stuff
Rebecca's face- underpainting
finish up David and Eric (title?)
adhere frame to "No Words" and "Two Ways To Think"

Playlist:
Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen
The Shins
Feist
Aimee Mann- The Forgotten Arm
