View post →I made this thumbnail in Paris. I could never decide if it’s the road ahead, or if it’s a view of looking back on the road just traveled. I’ve decided finally, that it’s yesterday. Ahead is the new year, and I got me a pair of new hiking shoes 😉 A very Happy and Healthy […]

Okina is a Noh play reserved for the first few days of the year and for special occasions. It’s conducted as a prayer for longevity and peace on earth. Women are considered ‘impure’ and therefore unfit […]
View post →Woke up to more snow than I was prepared for! My first thought was food. What will we eat today? Then I thought of posting a drawing. I thought it would be nice to share a frame from a storyboard I made about snow and gloves. Here’s more of that storyboard -Despina

This drawing of one of the Neopolitan Baroque Crèche angels that adorn the tree is from the archives. AKA an old sketchpad. more… While […]
View post →I always think of this drawing of mine when the holiday shopping frenzy rears its ugly head every year. I drew this at Rockefeller Center a few Decembers ago. Oh, what I would give to take a nap like the kid in this drawing whenever I feel too tired to carry on with the lists […]

View post →Recently, I helped my two year son paint a toy model boat. We used one brush for all the colors, so before dipping into a new color I would help him pat the brush dry on the paper I had laid out to protect the table. We both liked all the markings and started to […]
View post →I love raking the leaves. I love the sound it makes, I love the exercise and I love the leaves. I brought a few in to the house to draw and to admire. Here’s one. I liked the spots. -Despina

View post →So I’m revisiting the drawings I made last August during the week-long drawing workshop at the Dalvero Academy. Besides having a great time, I delved a little into a world that I’ve always loved but seldom experiment with–Fashion. Here is one of a few drawings I’ll be sharing with you from my experiment in fashion. […]

View post →…is a rock band. I went to two concerts in Central Park last week. The first was a washout! It rained and we all got soaked. And there was some serious lightning. But we had fun and the band played on. So, I went back on Friday to enjoy the show–sans shower. Here is one […]

View post →It took all summer, but James finally found the courage to go down the tallest slide in his playground. It’s a spiral! He laughed and laughed every time. Go Jumbo! To see more drawings from that day, click here. Drawing by Despina
View post →I can’t think of a better symbol of the American work force than the steel mills. All the images of the molten lava-like metal, the soot covered faces of the workers and the billowing smoke stacks are iconic. I feel they represent a little of something in every one of us who work each day […]
