Oh dear - I got the news today. Caricature Artist Sam Norkin passed away.
Oh dear - Now I really appreciate the times I spent with Sam. One time in particular, after we worked together at Sardi's - he took me on a 'tour' around the place - giving me details about each picture and the Artists of Yesteryear who had drawn them. It seemed so simple at the time. Like, just hanging out. Him talking about the Artists that he hung around with many years ago. Me feeling like he's making a bigger deal of it than it really was - because it probably wasn't much different than the way I know most of the Caricaturists that are on the scene these days - me not understanding how it feels when the Artists die....... I thought things were going to stay the same forever.

Precious. Now those simple moments are so precious. Now I wish I could remember all the details, but most of what I remember is the feel of walking around Sardi's with Sam. And just his whole personality whenever we worked together. He was a real fully rounded person. To hang out with him was to really know his personality.
