View post →As a child I loved drawing comic book characters. I have begun to evolve all my old characters and create a universe of my own based on them. The drawing above is a character I created in 1987, obviously influenced by Marvel comics. The middle version was created in 1992 and the right figure […]
View post →This is a drawing of the extremely enthusiastic  audience at the  Reggie Watts show at Summerstage in Central Park. This fan made sure to wave TWO lighters for “lighter song”, a hilarious ballad about how lit up cellphones are a poor substitute for lighters at concerts.
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 →Begonias are exceptionally beautiful plants. They remind me a little of lily pads that have been taken out of the water because of the shape of their leaves and how they sit on top of long skinny stems. Of course there are plenty of varieties. But I love this kind the best. -Despina

View post →If you’ve never experienced the surreal, anarchic comedy of Reggie Watts, let me recommend that you fill in that gap. When I went to see him in Central Park this summer I had no idea what to expect, and I was blown away by his hysterically funny performance, which also included some great music. Below […]

View post →One more of the illustrations created for the Journal of Empire Studies blog. This was a fun, colorful experience in illustration! Also, a little sad because of the subject matter.  The article for the blog is a review of the book, Kingdom Under Glass.  Kingdom Under Glass, by Jay Kirk, is about the famous explorer and […]

View post →Two days after the rains have passed the sun is shining, the birds singing, all thanking God. For it really could have been worse here in the city. This is a thumbnail I had done a few years back illustrating Noah’s Ark the day after the flood…figured it might be worth pulling out again. Hope […]

View post →Feeling mighty hungry A hot dog (frankfurter, frank, wiener, weenie) is a moist sausage of soft, even texture and flavor, often made from mechanically recovered meat or meat slurry. I live here in New York City and WISDOM tells me don’t touch those hot dogs but sometimes HUNGER gets the better of me. You would […]
View post →Oh to be seventeen and prematurely confident again… These young ladies are waiting for a door to open and offer them the opportunity to be seen by their idol du jour. And truth be told, they didn’t mind being sketched in this crucial prelude to their close-up, either. I do hope he blew at least […]
