Ellen Forney's In Town
Just gotta take this post to be proud of my daughter, Ellen Forney: Cartoonist, Author, Professor (Cornish College), Painter and Illustrator. She's in town (Philadelphia) from her Seattle home at the invitation of the Philadelphia Free Library to give a Workshop tomorrow, based on her art - 65 plates - in Sherman Alexie's book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. She also gave a presentation at the University of the Arts and another at her alma mater, Masterman High School.
Tirdad Derakhshani of the Philadelphia Inquirer interviewed her, and wrote a great article for the Magazine section of the Thursday Feb 3 Philadelphia Inquirer. Hit the highlighted section to go directly to the article. I wanted to include a picture or two from the article, but couldn't do it. Sorry.
It's been a long time since she was in Philadelphia, and it feels so good to have her here again, and to share the good things we enjoyed in the city.
