Many thanks to Margaret Hurst for inviting me to visit her Dalvero Academy Book Illustration class at the Metropolitan Museum on Saturday. I saw some wonderful projects in progress from the participants, and took a little time to draw some people in the crowded cafeteria while I ate my $15 turkey sandwich. (Yes, you read […]
