This is how Cheryl Robinson used to sign her paintings.

As part of the "profiles of how to survive" series,
we are pleased to report that she has recently announced
her new goal of becoming a Garbologist.

Many friends of hers have made the connection between
her fascination with Bob Dylan, and her new Garbology
aspiration. And, indeed, she is not the first one for whom
the two have been cosmically aligned; A.J. Weberman writes,
in his bio of Dylan,
"One night I went over D's garbage just for old time's
sake and in an envelope separate from the rest of the
trash there were five toothbrushes of various sizes
and an unused tube of toothpaste wrapped in a plastic bag.
'Tooth' means 'electric guitar' in D's symbology...."
