Kevin MacDonald (1946-2006)

Several of you have sent me emails to let me know that Washington area artist Kevin MacDonald passed away at 7:07 last night at Casey House Hospice in Derwood. He had been battling cancer for the last two years.

This is a significant loss to our area's art community of a very talented and respected artist and an exceptionally wonderful and decent human being.

Tate in the WaPo

While I was gone (I'm still gone actually... but heading back) to Colgate, the WaPo's Rachel Beckman had this piece on Tim Tate and the 48 Hour Film Project.
