This post works today for so many reasons – first, it’s one day after St. Patrick’s Day, and sea shanties are a big part of the Irish-American tradition. Also, we’re getting ready for our exhibit at the Mystic Seaport at the end of April – very exciting!

Greg and I went to see Verdi’s Macbeth at the Met last night. On our way there I watched a guitar player performing on the platform of the subway. Later, while observing the sculpture at the top of the stage inside the Met, I decided I’d draw it like Japanese calligraphy because my thoughts were getting a little zen-like. Something about how music could be so grand and so simple. Or how it could be like water and become whatever container you put it in. So I used a brush pen to draw the opulent chandelier and sculpture. -Despina PS- the show was great- amazing talents and I loved the scene when Lady Macbeth loses it- smart graphics in the set design.

I had such a great time at the ETSY Hands-on: drawing event last week. It was inspiring to meet so many aspiring artists eager to learn a new perspective on drawing. Here’s one of Kika in her final pose of the evening. - Michele, pen and ink
A quick drawing I made at one of the fashion shows in the costume department at the Metropolitan Museum. The department was, at one point, curated by Diana Vreeland. Nice pedigree! The shows are fantastic – - posted by Veronica.
Mista Mocko Jumbie! Carnival time is coming soon in the USVI. The Mocko Jumbies will be out in full force! Wish I were going to be there…
This is a drawing from one of the Carnival parades on St. Thomas.
Had a great time last night at the ETSY Hands-On: Drawing. Thank you to everyone who came out to draw with us. Here’s a drawing of you all drawing the great Kika. -Despina
Here is a drawing from 2003! It’s from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of my favorite places to visit, and draw. And speaking of drawing, to everyone attending the ETSY Hands-On event tonight in Brooklyn, I look forward to meeting and drawing with you all.
Last week I mentioned life can be crazy hectic most days here in New York City. Yet even on the run there’s always time for a quick drawing. So while riding the E train down by Canal Street last Friday, I did a small reportage of a woman reading the New York Post. (Wonder what she was reading? Maybe it was more Lin mania!) - Michele

Apparently it was the last day for cement at 91st street. Behind this monster were five more ready to take its place.—Dominick

A drawing/painting at the China Pavilion at Epcot. A little color, a little abstraction, a lot of fun…
