Back to my Earth Calendar. Today is a special day for the people of the Baha’i faith. The mission of the Baha’i is is to spiritually unify all the people and all religions of the world. Although painfully idealistic,that’s something I truly believe in myself! The temples of the Baha’i are really something. The most […]

View post →Right underneath the subway the Coquito Man yells at the top of his lungs, “COQUITO!” Kids love it, adults love it, I love it. So yes I sat down, drew Mr. Coquito under the rumbling of the subway, and then proceeded with buying myself a large cup of coquito. Eddie Peña
View post →In honor of the start of the holiday weekend, I thought I’d post a drawing I made at the biggest and most fabulous outdoor barbecue I’ve ever been to, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival!

View post →So, again, I look to my earth calendar and see that today, amongst many holidays observed around the globe by various countries, Somalia celebrates its indepedence. Somalia is in great contrast with the country I mentioned in my last post -Denmark. We don’t ever really get good news coming out of this country on the […]
View post →Despite weather calling for severe thunderstorms, my family and I ‘braved’ the conditions and set out for traffic-free Times Square. Saturday was an incredibly beautiful day, and the free tables and chairs were an added luxury. I’ve always loved drawing Times Sq. It’s a bit crazy, but there are so many points of interest that […]
View post →Still a week away, but since my next post is not until the 6th and all festivities will have been finished by then, I thought I would wish everyone an early Happy 4th of July. This drawing is from 2006 when I was down in Orlando at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. They […]
View post →A hot dog (frankfurter, frank, wiener, weenie) is a moist sausage of soft, even texture and flavor, often made from mechanically recovered meat or meat slurry. I live here in New York City and WISDOM tells me don’t touch those hot dogs but sometimes HUNGER gets the better of me. You would think the term […]
View post →According to my “earth” calendar, today is Midsummer Party day in Denmark. Many northern European countries celebrate Midsummer by building bonfires and having lots of fun. It’s origins go waaay back. Recently, I read how Denmark has been deemed the happiest country in the world. I remember being very intrigued by this and wondered how […]
View post →As the week begins, millions of people hit the roads and rails heading to work. This is a drawing I did a few years ago standing in front of Grand Central Terminal on 42nd St. amongst commuters in NYC.
View post →One Drawing a Day, that’s 365 drawings in a year. Not bad, it’s fortunate for my colleagues and I that we love to draw. As reportage artists, Illustrators, designers, photographers, film makers and painters we love to think with our hands. The drawing for today speaks for itself. That’s my Grandpa, he has the thousand […]
View post →A few years back, I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with a couple of (very large) horses. I mainly did a lot of shooting that day as their handler had them trotting, galloping and doing all kinds of things. But as I was looking through the photos recently, I found a […]
