View post →This is an Indian tiger that I illustrated recently for a newsletter for A&K luxury travel. I did several illustrations for them, but I especially enjoyed doing the tiger. I was thinking when I did it of the Jungle Book and the version I had as a child, illustrated by Aldren Watson. Rich, luscious watercolors […]
View post →I love the steamboat at Walt Disney World in Orlando. I have learned so much by drawing that boat over the years. The “wedding cake” my teacher used to call it. One class he made me sit on it every day for a week and draw. Wow. And now I send my students there to […]
View post →We’ve been having some unseasonably warm weather here in New York City, but I know it’s not going to last. As wintery winds start blowing, my mind drifts back to the Turks and Caicos islands where I spent some lovely time recently. Sitting on the porch overlooking the ocean, I started to play with color […]
View post →Just now finally getting to go through the many drawings I made in Spain in the summer of 2010. This was a group of young boys playing futbol (soccer) one day near the Miro museum. They were without doubt the most beautiful little boys I’ve ever seen. Long eyelashes, so sensitive, really sweet. Neil and […]

View post →This Thursday at the Angel Orensanz Foundation in New York City, American Illustration and Photography hosts its annual party for selected artists and colleagues. The illustration above of the Spiderman balloon, and one other of the SpongeBob balloon, were selected for AI30 from my reportage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I am looking forward […]
View post →Took this drawing I made of an Afro-Cuban band in New Orleans a few years ago and messed around with it in the computer. It was fun to create the brown line and add some music/energy marks in bright colors. This was an awesome band, the old Cuban guys really knew how to create a […]
View post →Barcelona is such a beautifully surreal city. The architect, Antonio Gaudi, helped make it so with his organic, wonderfully undulating architecture. It snakes it’s way around the city and winds up in Park Guell, a massively exotic architectural fantasy land set atop a mountain looking down on Gaudi’s obsession, Sagrada Familia. I enjoyed the magical […]
View post →A drawing of the Zakim Bridge in Boston. I love the elegance of this bridge. I remember being very cold when I made this drawing, and there was a group of street people with a somewhat menacing air right near me, but neither of those things could break the impact seeing this bridge in twilight […]
View post →Neil and I took our bicycles through the Haitian neighborhood in Providenciales, and I did some drawing. There is a large Haitian community in the Turks & Caicos, because the local population iss not large enough to handle all the work that needs to be done in the hotels on Grace Bay. These guys were […]
View post →While my students are working at the Museum of Natural History, I entertain myself by drawing faces of people in the cafeteria. I swear that guy’s hair was out that far in front of his head. Posted by Veronica Lawlor.
View post →I made this drawing under water, while snorkeling with Neil in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Happy times! Posted by Veronica
View post →Only ten years ago – a lifetime, really – two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City and  changed the lives of everyone who lived there. The events of September 11, 2001 have had a profound effect upon the United States and by extension, world events. But I will always remember […]
View post →Another drawing from our honeymoon in the Turks & Caicos. Mornings were lovely – coffee and croissants by the pool and this morning, a little drawing. Neil is stretching his back at the end of the pool. posted by Veronica
View post →Just returned from a wonderful honeymoon with Neil in the Turks & Caicos islands, about one step ahead of the hurricane! Did this watercolor from the balcony of our hotel room. I tried to show the mix of island freedom and color and British regimented design that co-exists on these tiny islands. Also jotted down […]
View post →In honor of the fact that I am on my honeymoon right now, I thought I’d post this drawing I made of two lovers kissing behind Notre Dame in Paris. Vive l’amour! posted by Veronica Lawlor
View post →Chinatown in San Francisco is the largest Chinese community outside of Asia. The ‘Dragon Gate’ at the entrance to the neighborhood is the only authentic Chinatown gate in North America. I had the pleasure of sitting across from it, sipping a decaff cappucinno, and drawing several views. Heavenly! posted by Veronica Lawlor
