In honor of St. Patrick’s day (tomorrow) I’ve posted a drawing of sea shanty singers that I did recently at the seaport. Sea shanties are an old sailing tradition, which of course means they’re from all over the world,  but the group sing-along has strong Irish roots! Like me : ) – Veronica

Mostly I love looking at the classic styles and the not-so-classic gowns that the stars are skillfully presenting to the sea of […]

View post →I came across an article that spoke about something that we don’t get to do often, especially those of us that live in cities – “Time Alone”. Here is an excerpt, “When we don’t get enough solitude, she says, “we get very out of touch with ourselves; we get forgetful; we get sloppy.” Depending on […]

What an ungrateful, whiny bunch! Hey, myself included. I just CANNOT WAIT for the Spring, and more importantly, the Summer! If it […]

Some of these works were exhibited at the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization; most appropriately, since the history of Carnival goes back to ancient agricultural traditions. This illustration […]

View post →I spent the afternoon at Barnes and Noble the other day. During my break for some coffee at the Starbucks cafe, I made some drawings of the people around me:clockwise froom the top left: the whiny kid, the satisfied customer, the shy girl waiting to order, the eccentric dude, the quiet reader, the old woman […]
View post →Here is a drawing I made a few years ago in the west village of NYC. The place was called the Baggot Inn. One night a week they invited folk musicians, both amateur and professional, to come and play together. Watching very different people, many of which did not seem to know each other, collaborate […]
