My Dear Friend Jenette Kahn wrote a book about working with artists to create your own personal space as she has..

Jenette was the president of DC Comics for all the years that I was in the fashion jewelry business in Manhattan and we were close friends..

She was the power house behind the Batman movie series, as well as

Superman and Super girl and many other famous cartoon icons of our time.

Jenette purchased a house up on Lake Quonnipaug in Connecticit where I lived for 18 years .At first it was my weekend get away and in 1990 I moved there full time.

Jenette has an amazing collection of my wristies and although she never considered herself an artist had the most highly skilled sense of art and design. Everything she touches has a magic and personality that was unique to her.

The book is out of print as far as I know and can be found at amazon.com and other book sites.It was published in 2002 and I finally had a chance to scan and share with you.

I have inserted some pictures for fun that were not in the book but of the time.
