In 2005, I was invited to march with Superfine's performance troupe at the Mermaid Parade. Rehearsed the dances and learned to make a mermaid tail. Then, I broke my toe. I hobbled along and photographed their costumes which are forever in the book. melaniehopegreenberg.blogspot.com/2017/08/merm...

TODAY was the Open Studios for artists in Dumbo, Brooklyn.
I was outside Superfine and sold my picture books, signed framed mini-prints, and signed art magnets.
Superfine is a hub for many artists and arts organizations.
Lucky and grateful.

When I started my career I never dreamed my book would be placed next to one of my all time favorite musicians and writers. I love 'Just Kids', a glimpse into NYC music history; a time I also lived in Greenwich Village. And these other mega Brooklynites on the same book row. So Lucky and Grateful!

Boycotting Amazon? My books are also available with Bookshop.org who donate their profits to indie bookstores.
🧜 I still receive the same royalty like I do with sales from Amazon, B&N, and retailers. Thanks! 🧜‍♀️
