Working with Paul Ryan to design a mural of his Earthscore at 601Artspace was a wonderful experience. The mural was part of the exhibit, The Unspecific Index, curated by Erin Sickler. Here are some drawings of hands I did early in the process: Paul wanted to talk about ‘mirror pathologies’, where narcissism becomes problematic for […]
View post →The end of the holiday season and the start of the new semester is always a busy time for me – makes me miss those long warm summer days when I can go out and do a lot of drawing! But the New York City subway is always a great place to practice both my […]
View post →A drawing of Margaret and a little boy that I made one day while we were in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Not sure how the little boy wound up in that position in the drawing: actually he was watching Marg feed the birds. Which you’re not allowed to do at Animal Kingdom, by the way. Posted […]

View post →Even though the big celebration is tomorrow, today is the official swearing in of Barack Obama for his second term. It’s a happy day for me! Above is a quick drawing I made last week while in Washington DC with our Dalvero class. It was a beautiful foggy morning, and as we walked toward the […]

View post →Going through my drawings from the last several years, and came across this one from Dublin’s Temple Bar area. Bricks and plants mingling together over the doorway of an Irish pub…this part of Dublin felt almost unreal, like a stage set! It’s the ‘cultural quarter’ of Dublin and still has the old medieval street patterns. […]

View post →The Empire State Building was blue on Saturday night – I had to draw it. For a good many years of my adult life, I’ve lived within view of the Empire State Building. She has become a kind of presence for me, a guardian spirit. When I saw her shining blue light it made me […]

View post →Last week, Studio 1482 illustrators Margaret Hurst, Greg Betza, and I were invited to draw at the Workbook Creative Carnival at the Art Directors Club in New York. It was a great time – there were burlesque and carnival performers posing for us as we drew, and the drawings were auctioned off to benefit the […]
View post →The weekend before Hurricane Sandy hit New York (about 6 months ago, it seems) Margaret and I took a group of Dalvero Academy artists up to Mystic Seaport for a weekend reportage workshop. What beautiful colors! It was so nice to steal an hour to sit with Marg and just paint the beauty we saw. […]

For each donation of $50 or more, you will receive a […]
View post →Hurricane Sandy has blown through and taken a beating on my beloved New York City. This was the scene at Avenue D and 11th Street on Friday morning, it looked like a refugee camp. People lined up for a hot meal, food, blankets, diapers, anything you could need. Local fire hydrants were opened up and […]

View post →Been busier than ever this fall, it’s nice to stop and think about a wonderful summer a few years ago. I spent time in Barcelona drawing such things as the Sagrada Familia (above) and then Neil met me and after a nice long visit in Barcelona we went to Paris. Where he proposed. 🙂 That […]
