View post →Here’s a drawing/collage/painting inspired by a mystery. Much of earthworm behavior is understood by scientists except for how and why they rise to the surface when it rains. Also, as I dig and plant in my garden I often wonder about how I could translate soil into a 2-Dimensional visual… here I gave it the […]

View post →Truth be told, I did this drawing in 1993 on Main Street USA in Walt Disney World. I was just 23 years old. The funny thing is in all it’s young, messy, awkward and clumsy way there are earmarks of personal character that has continued to resonate in my work since then. My teacher and mentor […]

This preliminary drawing is about a boy worm and his parents. Maybe we’ll call it “Parents just don’t understand” ~Despina

No exaggeration, it was one of the most delicious, delightful, magnificent meal I’ve ever had, (right up there with Sierra Mar in California). If […]

View post →When I was making pen and  ink drawings and illustrations for the Arabian Nights I also experimented with some color drawings and illustrations. I attempted to create the illustration under the influence of the Persian Miniatures that I had seen at the Met. Thought it might be fun to post one of them! Margaret Hurst

This is one of the three Cinderella stamps that I created talking about the […]
View post →Of course by the time I went to get a pen and paper the furry little rascal went from slowly moving about and peacefully noshing on our cilantro (time to get a garden fence!) to hopping on back to where it came from. I managed to get in two pages of quick drawings though. And […]
