It’s Rubbish!

There is a long running joke in my house, stolen from some YouTube channel I never knew the name of, that requires a bad faux British accent. When I found this drawing, I thought of that and an old story of a young girl in an English pub. Is that your beer love?—Dominick

Character Studies

The early stages of character development from a project several years ago. —Dominick

Freedom of speech

I first posted this in 2018 as I was working on imagery to represent what I was sensing. I saw it happening not only in the press but also on social media and among friends. The list of things we aren’t allowed to discuss is growing. People are being de-platformed, smeared and demonized. I believe […]

At My Feet

Seems like these days I have company at my feet. But when the cookies come out I tend to lose her attention.—Dominick

Snow Day!

No matter what the political climate, one thing remains true: children love to sled down snowy hills in winter! This was the scene at Central Park in NYC this past Saturday afternoon. So many children and their parents enjoying the day, laughing and calling out to each other, making memories that will last a lifetime. […]

Blue heron

The Blue Heron that’s been visiting our pond these passed couple of weeks keeps really still and blends with the plants near the water as it patiently waits for the right moment to feed. I used to have a hard time telling the difference between herons and cranes and egrets. I even know what an […]

It’s Been A While

Weeks later I still stop at any reference to Amanda Gorman when I come across it. With all the supposed “social” media we have at our finger tips it feels as though we say so much less, more often. Until the morning she took the podium and spoke it had been a while since I […]

Nor’easter

Snow Day! Here in the Northeastern corridor of the United States we are being blanketed with snow from a nor’easter storm. Predictions are over a foot of snow falling in NYC; probably more further north. Pictured is a drawing of the Zakim Bridge in Boston, standing tall during the storm. Keep warm and safe everyone! […]

Oh, Capitalism

Oh, Capitalism. I can only imagine what was going through your mind at this moment. So, you’ve manifested as “merch”. I can only imagine what that means to you as well. Cute ole Capitalism. Look it’s now on some keychains delivered by the UPS truck. Oh look, it’s being weaved into a cozy warm sweatshirt. […]

D.C. or Bust

Whenever I am trying to describe to someone the feeling that a moment creates in my mind I think back to any one of the events in my lifetime that have carved such a deep memory that it can be recalled instantly. That is what inauguration day has become for me. This year however I […]
