JUDI BRADFORD INK DRAWINGS AT FAREWELL SHOW, TSKW
“It didn’t start out as a farewell when we planned the show last year, but then events occurred and this show comes after my move from Key West,” said Judi Bradford of her show, which opens Thursday at The Studios of Key West.
Bradford has been a Key West artist for 40 years, starting out with commercial illustration and editorial cartoons. She recently moved to DeLand, Florida. She still has her studio at TSKW until May and will be back several times to finish up projects.
The exhibit of her recent ink drawings is in the Zabar Project Gallery on the first floor of The Studios of Key West. The exhibit opens Thursday, March 1, 6 to 8 pm.

RE: Short Answers
Dear Pappy:
So you want the grandkids to feel what it’s like to be old, uncomfortable with technology, and have little discretionary income? We suggest you try to remember what it’s like to be so busy, tired and emotionally tapped out that a relaxed phone chat with grandparents means a sacrifice of a different kind.
I found your response to “Pappy” (see above) cold, dismissive and disrespectful. While today’s technology allows busy people to be in contact in a time efficient manner, it does not provide the warmth and emotional intimacy of a phone call. How many times have we all said: “It’s good to hear your voice”? And actual person-to-person conversations convey information not always adequately expressed in written communications. To describe a “relaxed phone chat with grandparents” as a “sacrifice” is callous and self-indulgent. I enjoy your column and find your no-nonsense responses refreshing and usually spot-on, but I strongly feel you dropped the ball on this one.
