Entry No. 231
This is graphic artist and writer, Aldo Mirizzi, he has lived around the corner from me for decades, we've said hello in passing but never chatted before. Well, this weekend thanks to my obsession with figs, ( he has a tree in his back yard which I spotted loaded with uneaten fruit.), I've made two new friends in he and his fascinating,vivacious wife, LaMae, also an artist. She and I talked for hours and among other interesting nuggets about the neighborhood, she revealed that Aldo's is the hand behind the Oakland icon, Merritt Bakery, logo. Who knew?

He was kind enough to take a break from working for a chat and a picture. |
