View post →Another drawing from the Synaesthesia Social workshop taught by Veronica Lawlor and hosted by Ted Michalowski. These are the hands of Jason Smeltzer and the Theremin Box. I found his playing to be omnipotent; the floating musical hands of Oz! Again, an incredible performance by all the musicians! Had fun drawing next to Julia Sverchuk! […]
View post →Happy to announce that the image above was awarded by American Illustration to be included in the Chosen category in their most recent illustration competition. It was one of 215 from 9175 submitted, makes me feel good. Thanks, AI! The illustration, of the Seattle’s Pike Place Market, is part of a large campaign that I […]
View post →I went to a club with Ronnie and Julia in the city where we were also joined by Mary Ann. These musicians were incredible, as well as the singer, hiding between two of the musicians in the drawing! I think music and drawing make an incredible couple! Margaret Hurst

View post →Took a trip to Scranton with Julia Sverchuk and Veronica Lawlor because Veronica, Ronnie, was conducting a drawing workshop for Synaesthesia Social hosted by Ted Michalowski. These musicians were incredible, and incredibly in tuned with each other! Jamie Orfanella played the didgeridoo. I have included the other musicians in the drawing with their hands: Tyler […]
View post →So, Dalvero went up to Mystic Seaport a few weeks ago and began reportaging the Mayflower II! So googled the mayflower flower and there were some very interesting definitions and symbols of the flower. One symbolic meaning is that of purification. Purification: the true essence cleanses the heart of negativity and stimulates love and forgiveness. […]

View post →This is a drawing of some of the people who work in the Chinese Pavilion at Epcot Center at Disney World. They were standing in various places around the pavilion so I went around to draw each them and designed them on the same page. The Chinese Pavilion is an amazing place to draw people […]
View post →While on a recent trip to Crete I went to see the tree that is said to be between 3,000 and 5,000 years old. It is scientifically impossible to accurately date olive trees because they lose their “heartwood” and do not have rings to count. But many scientists agree that the tree in Vouves, Crete […]
