After months of disappointment in her website, Alex J Sax resorted to bringing in a specialist, yours truly (fledgling web design genius...NOT). The Alex Sax/Menagerie Recovery page is now up and running, in a simplified, stripped down and (we hope) elegant manner. (Send complaints right here). What's more, there's still time to BUY A HOLIDAY PRINT before any holidays actually happen (although Hannukah is sneaking up real fast). And - thanks to her crackerjack designer - you can buy the print right on-line, even with a credit card. No muss no fuss, hear?

This little montage of yesterday's trials will have to suffice, because tonight's stunning triumph was swathed in darkness for which my puny camera phone was no match. We ran and played in the blazing sun, coaxing Alex's copy-paper kite to fly. It made a good show of horizontal, but faltered in the vertical domain. Then tonight, Eureka. I was summoned from my dreary studio perch to the street, where I arrived barefoot and groggy, to see what was surely the finest vision of my summer. My brilliant Alex, radiant and laughing, running on the avenue with a brand new shopping bag kite twelve feet above her head, propelling the recently maligned Hannnaford's insignia to new heights. It would have made the localest of papers had the town not been sleeping, but I saw it all. And then I joined, naked soles stomping on the pavement, trailing old supermarket glory from some fraying twine in the August evening breeze.

She's done it! After months of threatening, Alex J. Sax, Portland artist and love of my life, has gone and forged her own website from scratch. All she needed was a little recuperation time. Go have a look (don't use Internet Explorer - and why would you want to anyway?).

Wonderful rumblings abound in the studio down the hall. And the oft-maligned camera must have felt the magic, for it sprung back to life to document the occasion. Good thing the Artist doesn't read this particular blog, or this post would be toast.

Hey guess what? The camera is sort of kind of working again. Not so well, and very temperamental, but I managed to upload those photos I mentioned.
Here's the lovely Alex at Art OMI in New York. Here she comes! I gotta run (don't tell her bout this, k?)
