Logan Hicks, Jill Weisberg and Me

I was in Hollywood a little while back and on my way to the beach (via a meandering route) with my son for his birthday.

We had lunch, then cut through an alleyway to try and find a cigar shop I'd heard about. We were walking down the alley and I see a guy spraypainting at the end - and a pretty chick in front of him.

I realized... holy moly... it was my long-time friend Jill Weisberg. And the artist working on the wall was Logan Hicks, busily painting a mural commissioned by the city of Hollywood.

Photo by my son. Happy birthday!

Jill now oversees a lot of Hollywood's public art.

She's a hardcore go-getter and a good artist in her own right. We hadn't seen each other in years. Perfect timing.

You can find Logan Hicks work here. And Jill Weisberg is here.

Now I want to paint a wall.
