Last night in life drawing class (in Brooklyn at the Dalvero Academy)Â Â Veronica gave a brief lecture on how important it is to take the time to observe when you draw…to observe the figure closely, the body language presented and the energy surrounding it.

View post →Nine years ago this week, standing tall right there in front of me…the Sydney Opera House  with it‘s bold and commanding design was undeniably awe inspiring from the outside and just as magnificent from within (considering the untouchable talent that’s passed through it’s gate). If you haven’t been there, I insist! A MUST SEE on your bucket […]
View post →I passed through Grand Central Terminal yesterday and wondered what the next exhibit was going to be  in Vanderbilt Hall. Then it dawned on me, no exhibit, just the holiday market.

There was a band/orchestra that played and performed only Michael Jackson music. This lady and her dog were dancing to the music all day long. This drawing has two […]

Here is a drawing from a concert I attended (during then unscheduled nor’easter) at Town Hall NYC last Saturday. The performer, Jeff Mangum, had not performed for nearly 13 years so it was a room filled with an unusual level of anticipation.

View post →I met this lovely lady on Main Street last January, and she was kind enough to let me draw her portrait while she lectured me on the evils of alcohol (not really, but that is a better story than what actually happened).
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 […]
