…another week, again, and since Ronnie has me thinking about Paris, again, a quick little thought. —Dominick

Two days ago, getting off the subway at 40th street, heading to Kinokuniya, which I thought was closed for good.—DOMINICK

Welcome to the world little one.

A little sketch from the train this morning.—Dominick

The pushy willows plushies to be exact.—Dominick

Not quite what I started, but two monkeys are hard to keep down for long.–Dominick

The last flower has fallen.

The geese were flying again

Thoughts still with Japan.

I was once told that in the face of the greatest chaos, the greatest fear, the most important thing is to get up each day and carry on. I hope I never know the fear and chaos that weighs on our Japanese friends, and this mere token may be but a drop in the bucket, but know that you will carry on and we will be here to help.—Dominick

In response to the recent terrible earthquake in Japan and the tsunamis in the Pacific, the illustrators of Studio 1482 have each created a piece of art to raise  money on behalf of the victims.

Your gift to the American Red Cross will support our disaster relief efforts to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific. On those rare occasions when donations exceed American Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters. (From their website.)

To participate: please click here for a link to the American Red Cross website. When you receive your donation receipt via email, forward that email along with your choice of illustration print to info@studio1482.com. (Please note: only the last four digits of your credit card number will be visible on the receipt.)

Once we receive the confirmation email, your print or original art of choice* will be sent to you. Please allow up to two weeks for delivery.

Sincerely,

The illustrators of Studio 1482

…the last drawing was a tongue, but don’t ask me what this is, I was too busy waiting for the pork tenderloins. —Dominick

As to what this man is holding. —Dominick

Sleep is long lost, and tomorrow is beginning shortly. What little will the world know of what happened at in the early AM.

Reasons that make the week seem to fly by.

Not much to behold, but what followed was everything that started here. —Dominick

If you have ever traveled along then Hudson River in New York, particularly via Metro North Railroad which rides along the river, you may have witnessed an odd looking ship that seems out of place among all the tug boats and tankers that crowd the waters. That vessel may have been the Half Moon, a replica of the ship that Henry Hudson captained up the river that would later bear his name. The crew of the Half Moon took part in the Hudson-Fulton celebration in June, commemorating the 400th anniversary of Hudson’s voyage. The drawing is from the festivities as the ship pulled into port in Newburgh, NY.—Dominick

For no other reasons than to be reminded that we are not always in control, that we have to roll with mother nature, that an unexpected obstacle might block our path, let it snow. If that’s not good enough, fly south for the winter, it’s always warmer in Florida. —Dominick

Not what I had intended exactly, but I will follow up on my blog tomorrow. Just can’t help but feel like some people have their head in the sand.—Dominick
