Beautiful in every way. Oh those smiling little faces!

Thank you for sharing your workspace and your work and your story.
I was drawn in by the artist's name, and I was delighted through and through. I love everything about this interview, work space, and after quick browse at the website,the artist's work. The concert poster are so charming and, wow, quite a great group of musicians!
I will be forcing my own Silas (a soon to be 12 year old) to read it through. I see certain similarities in terms of a quirky style, appreciation of fonts and lettering and, most importantly, an excellent relationship with the providence of the universe.

Have 'em, love 'em.
We recently rebuilt our compost boxes into the coop area and that my friends, has been revolutionary. Coops have poops and poops are good for compost but not the sort of thing you want to carry around! If you are just getting started a sturdy coop you are able to stand in, compost close by and a couple of small shovels, (mine are from a toy set my kids had years ago) make keeping the coop tidy pretty easy.
Northern California folks have an opportunity to tour a number of coop set ups in Davis, CA in May during the 4th annual Tour De Cluck.

So many great comments -- except the just married comment, I agree with them all!

Love it!

So agree! I will even listen to a podcast about sports if it comes from the Slate team!
Other favorites: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and I am super hooked on Marketplace, the morning, the afternoon and the weekend versions.
I'm looking forward to listening to a whole load of new stuff based on these recommendations.
I don't know if Stitcher is available for Androids, but that is how I listen on my iphone.

Love it! Top to bottom love it! Thanks for sharing your delightfully homey, home.

My town is on the list. We left SF years ago because it was too pricey for us. Now we have our own little slice of heaven in a college town smack dab between SF and Tahoe.
Gotta say, the picture Forbes chose to display of Davis is not the best. A recent NY Times article does a better job!

Charming! You did such a lovely job making an itsy, bitsy kitchen both airy and functional! I especially like the pot rack Was it something you made, or is that available for purchase somewhere.

Texture, color, history and so much fresh artwork. I love the scale of the whole place. I've been seeing quite a few tours lately in which the furniture looks uncomfortable, or the space feels too hard or time stamped to 2012. Not this place. This home has its own time.
Mark, your paintings are wonderful and not surprisingly have the same warmth as your home. I appreciate the celebration of texture and what seems to me, to be a lack of irony. I LOVE IT.
And, thanks AT for shooting the space rather than vignettes!
