Right underneath the subway the Coquito Man yells at the top of his lungs, “COQUITO!”
Kids love it, adults love it, I love it. So yes I sat down, drew Mr. Coquito under the rumbling of the subway, and then proceeded with buying myself a large cup of coquito.

A place where respect and quiet is demanded.  St. Patrick’s Cathedral is colossal, and when you walk in it only gets bigger.  It’s a great place to draw, where you can stay cool and no one bothers you.

“Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life; meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God’s goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things, new – created upon your account: and under the sense of so great a blessing” -William Law

The art was inspired by the bamboo tree, a symbol of longevity, constancy, yielding but enduring strength. It is also said that the bamboo tree is like the humble man who bows before the storm and rises again. Amidst all that has happened I have nothing but love and admiration for the people of Japan. They have a way of getting up after the storm and looking to the left and to the right and help one another without consideration for themselves. My prayers are with you all.

Once considered a limitless and inexhaustible resource, oceans are in jeopardy. The demands of a growing population are damaging marine ecosystems and depleting ocean and coastal resources. New and innovative approaches are needed now to maintain and restore the biological wealth of the world’s oceans and coasts.
