Over the past two months or so, the Days of Yore, a new site devoted to interviewing successful artists about the time before their breakthrough, has published eleven interviews aimed at inspiring young creative types to keep striving. This week, painter Lisa Sanditz talks about being able to support herself in a field where financial success is hardly to be taken for granted.
I was thrilled that the New Yorker online chose to write up a little ditty on the site the Days of Yore yesterday.

It’s not fashionable date-talk to argue about who will change the diapers of the children you haven’t yet conceived (that’s sure to [...]

Basically, working moms have been pitted against stay-at-home moms in a nasty, wordy, Laura Ashley-clad Jello-wrestle. A central tenet to the debate has been the notion that women today are increasingly “new traditionalists,” who do nothing but yearn [...]
