View post →The statue of Perseus at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is no longer on view, but I made a pretty lengthy series of drawings of people as they passed him by. I always found it very amusing to watch people in the context of Perseus; how they reacted, or didn’t react, to him […]

View post →The fall is always the busiest, most hectic, time of year for me, and yesterday was one of those days. Three classes in one day, with a lot of running around – I call them ‘three borough days’ because I have to be in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, and back again. Going under and over […]
