A little late but didn’t want to miss another week. In the midst of a busy work schedule I had a moment to run over to the Society of Illustrators to draw. Forgot it was burlesque night until I arrived. Fun Coney Island mermaid meets Disney’s Under the Sea creations.—Dominick

On our quest for enlightenment at Columbia University a few weeks ago my wife and I had the opportunity to listen to several great speakers hosted by Teachers College. It is rare that I am led through a day with little agenda other than to accompany my partner in life. I had no idea what we […]

Long, long ago, in another life, I fantasized of attending Columbia University to pursue a writing career. It took art school years later for me to realize how many books I had overlooked in my pursuit of this dream. I have tried to catch up over time, and I have certainly been known to write […]

They played off of each other most of the night at the Society of Illustrators. The routine is the same, give the room equal face time, and try not to give one side two backsides of the head. Sometimes you benefit from your place in the room.—Dominick

Every once in a while I find myself in a coffee house when things are all a buzz, when the energy is above the norm. Yesterday was one of those days. How fantastically entertaining! – Michele (piece was done in watercolor and graphite pencil)

View post →Going through my drawings from the last several years, and came across this one from Dublin’s Temple Bar area. Bricks and plants mingling together over the doorway of an Irish pub…this part of Dublin felt almost unreal, like a stage set! It’s the ‘cultural quarter’ of Dublin and still has the old medieval street patterns. […]
View post →With Occupy Wall Street (OWS) back in the media (a protest movement that began September 17, 2011 in Zuccotti Park, New York City) I thought it might be interesting to share a drawing I had done in front of City Hall a few months before the movement began. Drawing medium: watercolor and graphite pencil – Enjoy your day! […]
