Voting Rights Act

It’s the holiday in honor of Martin Luther King today, and Voting Rights are currently very much on the agenda in Congress. Preserve voting rights for all and we preserve democracy. Be seen, be heard, VOTE! Reportage illustration of a demonstration in lower Manhattan by Veronica Lawlor

On The Horizon

I had other thoughts as this day was ending, but then I read Veronica’s post from yesterday and thought to myself “should it ever be too late to say Happy New Year?” At least not in January. What led me to this spot, the place I stand at this very moment, is a long and […]

Happy New Year 2022

Happy New Year 2022! (Is it too late to say happy New Year on January 10?) Wishing everyone joy and tranquility for 2022. Hoping that this year ends on a higher note, as we all continue to make our way through this new reality. Mixed media posted by Veronica

Happy New Year!

I carry over from last year to this with nothing in hand. No resolutions to be spoken of, simply searching. Meaning. Answers. Questions. Truth. Fiction. Fantasy. It’s all on the table. Honor the moment. So with that I wish you a peaceful and healthy new year. May you find what you are looking for and […]

A Fall Day in Brooklyn

I know it’s definitely autumn when the leaf raking begins in Brooklyn… posted by Veronica

Subway Portraits

Drawing portraits of my fellow subway riders for me, is like playing the scales for a musician. I love seeing what kinds of combinations I can come up with. Ballpoint pen and paper. Posted by Veronica

In The Meadow

Constantly searching for spots to take a turn, follow a line of trees and get lost in the clearing.—Dominick

The Lady of the Waters

There is nothing that compares to the feeling of sitting at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park, on a crisp sunny fall day…the air sparkles and everyone is slightly wistful, knowing that summer has come to an end and the cold winter is on it’s way… posted by Veronica

Before You Know It

Not quite peek peeping time, but you can tell the world is about to change—always does whether we are paying attention or not.—Dominick

Subway Portraits

No better place to practice drawing people and portraits than the New York City subway system! These were drawn on the F train, somewhere under 6th Avenue… posted by Veronica

Into The Woods

No matter how deep I go, I only scratch the surface, another corner found un-trampled. The combatants on my shoulder discuss if I should leave well enough alone or if I should carry on. Leave no stone unturned, at least in the mind. On the ground, tread lightly, carry-in-carry-out. —Dominick

Under The Oak Tree

Make haste. Read a book beneath the tree—any tree. The days are getting shorter—the Hessian is about.

Summers End

Tomorrow the golden skys will officially welcome the fall of a season and day by day the wide and thick shadows will grow long and spindly.—Dominick

PEOPLE

From the pre-Covid days, a panoramic drawing of the people in Grand Central Station in Manhattan, what I used to know as the constantly busiest place on Earth…posted by Veronica.

The Days Are Changing

There have been more conversations about what is normal and what the future holds than I can count. Change is good. I have always believed this and I will not shy away from it just because it seems unending at times. As the days pass I charge on. Onwards and upwards.—Dominick

Nighttime Oasis

There is a moment in translation when the original text takes on new meaning, the same happens with a sketch, a few dabs of color and the entire scene changes, I back where I was, but so far past what I was looking at the first time.—Dominick

Faces of Times Square

If I were to ever leave New York City, I’d certainly miss the diversity of people who live and work here. How could I ever live elsewhere? There is always someone to draw in the city. Here are a few faces I jotted down in Times Square. posted by Veronica

Midnight Across the Way

This journey started out as a way to pass the time. As I turn a corner, as I look to the future, I wonder if it was more than that all along. Simple. Direct. Several worlds coming together. —Dominick

Running for a Cause

Woke up at 7:30 am on Saturday morning to the sound of 1970s disco and 1980s pop music coming through our windows. We ran outside to catch a race down 34th Avenue, to benefit the victims of the fire that occurred earlier this year in Jackson Heights. The community spirit is alive and well in […]

Through the Line of Trees

From an old sketch done along the Hudson.—Dominick
