Never heard of this series... May be it is on YouTube somewhere? Did you get a chance to watch it?
Venice, CA makes me think of Ray Bradbury for some reason & can't recall why... But once upon a time, he was one of my favorite authors for the ability to transport thoughts beyond everyday existence. And also once upon a time, I visited Venice, CA -- as an old childhood friend was getting married right next door to where another newer friend lived who was doing his beyond postdoc at UCLA, so I felt fate was calling me there... That was elsewhere in L.A., of course, a real trip for me, but Venice was nearby so on my own & on a borrowed bike, I paid it a visit too... Rode along the canals and walked the beach. I was surprised how easy L.A. was to bike around in.
Recently watched a documentary of Vivaldi set in Venice, Italy... How does that relate? Not sure, at all! But Venice, CA may be as possibly close as I ever get to the real Venice...
I'm enjoying dropping in to visit the older parts of your blog...
Thanks WS! I come back to the older posts too occasionally and even find new inspiration for paintings I'm working on. I haven't watched the series but it was a big hit as a web series a few years ago. Not sure what the stus of it is now. Been to both Venice and Venice Beach and love them both for different reasons. Have a great day!

So talent runs in the family, eh?
Just watched this today in 2016.
