I met this lovely lady on Main Street last January, and she was kind enough to let me draw her portrait while she lectured me on the evils of alcohol (not really, but that is a better story than what actually happened).
View post →Few things evoke associations of affluence in me like a plate overflowing with goodies like muffins, fruits, and cream. I always associate them with a lovely weekend brunch, aka complete happiness.
View post →While waiting for the band “Architecture in Helsinki” to come onstage at Webster Hall I had the opportunity to draw the fans from an unusual vantage point: Perched slightly above them, atop the speakers. This crowd was quite mellow and friendly. The full review of the show (and more drawings) are on my music blog.
View post →This young man’s oddly-shaped bag gave him away as a musician, and he was a joy to draw listening to his ipod, which undoubtedly bestowed some sublime pleasures onto his carefully tuned ears…
View post →These two lovely New York ladies maintained their stoically upright posture for over 100 blocks. It’s amazing what years of unwanted attention can do…
View post →The entire time these two were seated across from me I was worried they would realize I was drawing them and  would want to see the sketch (mostly because it looked EXACTLY like them, and I was not sure how enthusiastic they would be about that). Thankfully their interest remained focussed on each other.
View post →This is a drawing of the extremely enthusiastic  audience at the  Reggie Watts show at Summerstage in Central Park. This fan made sure to wave TWO lighters for “lighter song”, a hilarious ballad about how lit up cellphones are a poor substitute for lighters at concerts.
View post →If you’ve never experienced the surreal, anarchic comedy of Reggie Watts, let me recommend that you fill in that gap. When I went to see him in Central Park this summer I had no idea what to expect, and I was blown away by his hysterically funny performance, which also included some great music. Below […]
View post →Oh to be seventeen and prematurely confident again… These young ladies are waiting for a door to open and offer them the opportunity to be seen by their idol du jour. And truth be told, they didn’t mind being sketched in this crucial prelude to their close-up, either. I do hope he blew at least […]
View post →Brit-pop band The Kooks played a super-sold-out show at the Bowery Ballroom, and I had the good fortune of being there and making tons and tons of drawings that evening. This one is of curly-haired  frontman Luke Pritchard and guitarist Hugh Harris. There was a lot of hair to draw that night. The full review […]
View post →The hilarious Eugene Merman (the creepy super from “Flight of the Conchords”) reading us the open letter he wrote to Time Warner Cable after some frustrating (and unfortunately rather typical) scheduling issues. He was warming up the crowd at Brooklyn’s Bell House for his friend Amanda Palmer, who later that night blew our collective minds. […]
View post →This summer I attended a very memorable performance of Moliere’s “The school for husbands” by the New York Classical Theater in Central Park, and this is one of the drawings I did of the farce. There are more drawings of this performance on my website.

View post →A silk embroidered “driving cap” from 1924 that would totally pass for stylish in Williamsburg or the Lower East Side today. Available in goldens and greens.
View post →I had the good fortune to catch the fabulous Sonia Delaunay fashion and textiles show at the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum before it closed, and I got even more than I bargained for: Not only were the pieces on display exquisitely wacky and tasteful, but the show turned out to be a magnet for some very […]
View post →I want to share some sketches I did at some recent concerts. This first one is of an artsy Swedish-Asian rock musician named Little Dragon whom I saw at the Bowery Ballroom. If you’re interested in more of my concert reportage drawings, check out my music blog, where I post reviews, photos and drawings of […]

View post →A drawing of Williamsburg hipsters having a discussion on the L-train in New York City. The lady on the right was strikingly gorgeous despite the bizarre woolen headscarf her head was wrapped in, and the shaggy guy in the middle had what looked suspiciously like plucked eyebrows.
