View post →After this past drawing weekend at Dalvero I was looking through some drawings and found a few of Kika. Here she is metamorphosed into a nun. What will she be next time? Always fabulous, Kika! m.hurst
View post →Another May Day Union Square drawing. As I talked about before I was a little surprised, but not, that there were so many different issues being brought to light. Truthfully, one issue usually relates to at least one or more other issues, and this protest proved that! M_Hurst
View post →Last Friday I left my class at Parsons and walked over to get the subway and discovered crowds of people from many different causes gathered at the front of Union Square to protest. Peacefully. It was May Day! This is the exodus of the multiple groups as they headed east and downtown after listening to […]

View post →A few weeks ago I went with Veronica Lawlor and Julia Sverchuk to the Society of Illustrators to draw some incredible models. Great night! As I was drawing the models I was feeling the vibe from the artists across from me. I couldn’t resist, so I drew them too! So much fun! Intense! Margaret Hurst
View post →Another drawing from the Synaesthesia Social workshop taught by Veronica Lawlor and hosted by Ted Michalowski. These are the hands of Jason Smeltzer and the Theremin Box. I found his playing to be omnipotent; the floating musical hands of Oz! Again, an incredible performance by all the musicians! Had fun drawing next to Julia Sverchuk! […]
View post →I went to a club with Ronnie and Julia in the city where we were also joined by Mary Ann. These musicians were incredible, as well as the singer, hiding between two of the musicians in the drawing! I think music and drawing make an incredible couple! Margaret Hurst
View post →Â A tryptic of the model Kika in one of her fantastic, fancy, frilly gowns! Had a great time drawing the beautiful black shape of the gown. Going a little crazy abstract with it! A joy! Margaret Hurst
View post →Took a trip to Scranton with Julia Sverchuk and Veronica Lawlor because Veronica, Ronnie, was conducting a drawing workshop for Synaesthesia Social hosted by Ted Michalowski. These musicians were incredible, and incredibly in tuned with each other! Jamie Orfanella played the didgeridoo. I have included the other musicians in the drawing with their hands: Tyler […]
View post →So, Dalvero went up to Mystic Seaport a few weeks ago and began reportaging the Mayflower II! So googled the mayflower flower and there were some very interesting definitions and symbols of the flower. One symbolic meaning is that of purification. Purification: the true essence cleanses the heart of negativity and stimulates love and forgiveness. […]

View post →This is a drawing of some of the people who work in the Chinese Pavilion at Epcot Center at Disney World. They were standing in various places around the pavilion so I went around to draw each them and designed them on the same page. The Chinese Pavilion is an amazing place to draw people […]
View post →A really quick drawing of a man on the subway. Decided not to take a manspreading picture and make a drawing instead! Always fun to make a drawing!!! Margaret Hurst
View post →These are some hand drawings from a little ways back. When I finished drawing them I realized that they looked like trees. They were supposed to be hands united, which could also represent trees. Trees do so much for us, so, yeah, Red Tree Hands! United! Margaret Hurst
View post →Prometheus, the Greek Titan, gave the gift of fire to mankind! On these very, very, very, cold days I would like to thank Prometheus for the gift of fire! Stay warm everyone! Prometheus says “hi!” from Rockefeller Center! Margaret Hurst
View post →Last week’s Art Challenge, or as i like to refer to it, Art Fiesta, was a great experience. It was wonderful to see the work of fellow artists; work I have never seen, or work from long ago! It was a truly positive and rewarding experience on both a personal and an artist level. I […]
View post →A drawing of the wonderful Samir from a weekend of drawing at Dalvero. I drew Samir with a colored pencil and then decided to add some sewing thread to the drawing. I liked what happened and I think I’d like to experiment a little more with the drawing/thread medium. Thank you, Samir! Margaret Hurst
View post →Always fun to look around you and see how many people are texting/online! Margaret
