I am reposting this drawing from 4 years ago, 2017, at The Women’s March at the Capitol Building in Washington D.C., because we now have a woman Vice President in office in the United States of America, for the first time in our history! I am proud to be an American woman this inauguration day […]

“1-minutes” are what these short poses are sometimes called. They’re great for capturing body language and design. What I find is that they tend to be honest and instinctual.

While searching the studio for a drawing the other day, I came across this OLDIE: a woodcut print of the South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan. Think I made this around 1994 – still remember how much fun I had carving all of these lines and marks into the wood. Now when I suggest to a […]
