I went to the Palace of the legion of honor today, and went to see the Art Deco show, and the way i made it was just stumbling upon it…and the musuem was free (except for the special exhibit *7 bucks!*) I actually was impressed with the space, there was also a flower/artwork show at the same time so that was pretty cool…
I got some books for people…one for mom (flowers) and one for dad (shadow puppets)
I also got the little prince for myself, as I had read it in HS in spanish, and I remebered it as a quasi-phisolophical book…maybe it will help me straighten things out about the L word…
Also welcomed Spyke to Cali…and I’m hoping to get down there sometime soon…97 bucks on Jet Blue…

Pete Ippel, the son of a dancer and a musician, was born in Oak Park, Illinois and has been surrounded by the arts since birth. He moved to Morris, Illinois in 1989 and started to participate in athletics rather than dance. After high school, Pete attended Cornell University where he received a BA in psychology and a BFA in photo / digital art making. He continued to follow his sporting dreams in the high jump, which culminated in a school record leap of 7 feet 1/2 inch in 2001.
In May 2004 he attained an MFA degree in the New Genres department of the San Francisco Art Institute. Presently Pete is a practicing artist whose work is in numerous private collections and has been exhibited in New York, California, and internationally.
Mr. Ippel resides in Working Artists Ventura, a sustainable artist community in southern California. In addition, he teaches art, is a web developer, an active blogger, and still high jumps from time to time.
As a passionate problem solver and a pragmatic optimist, Pete’s art and his life are full of exciting challenges.
