Saw this hat at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Some things are just begging to be drawn! – Â Veronica

New Orleans is really a romantic city – the jazz music, the voodoo vibe, the paddle boats, the wrought iron architecture and of course, the horse & carriages that are all over the city. The sound of horse hooves clomping down the cobblestone streets (I forgot that in the list!) really adds to the atmosphere. […]

View post →I think Robin Hood really did live here. Or maybe it was Maid Marion? Could this be where Howard Pyle did his illustrations? Saw this tower at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania last weekend, and I couldn’t help but want to draw it! Having an Adirondack chair, nice weather, and Neil drawing next to me didn’t […]

View post →Another weekend, another show, another of my favorites. This time, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. Simply put, J is one of the most prolific songwriters and virtuoso guitarists of his generation. Last night it was just him and a guitar as he performed songs from his 30 year career at the Bowery Ballroom in New […]

View post →Every year during the summer time in NYC, the fishermen line up along the East River on New York’s lower east side. They are out here every day, looking for treasure in the rivers around the Big Apple. They do seem to catch something, and they eat it, too! Not sure how I’d feel about […]

View post →I spent Labor Day weekend 2009 in Pennsylvania visiting the Brandywine museum (heavenly!) and the Chaddsford Winery nearby. The winery was hosting a jazz festival wine tasting event. I have to say, I had been there two years earlier and the wines from this local winery have improved quite a bit. The Proprietors Reserve White […]

View post →Sorry for the late post, but I spent the early part of the day at Brookdale Park, here in Bloomfield New Jersey. I was helping out a local ad agency promote the ‘value’ of this great park to its visitors. Along with a few other illustrators and students from Montclair State University, I was asked […]
View post →Sorry about the late post today, I was out late last night at the Replacements concert in Forest Hills, NY. It was their first appearance in New York in over 20 years! I’ve waited a long time to see them and they didn’t disappoint at all. In my opinion the show could not have been […]
View post →A few years ago I worked on a project about the collective warped ego of the world today. Every time I hear something terrible in the news, I can’t help but think of certain aspects of humanity in this way. ~Despina
View post →Had the chance to see Bob Mould the other night at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City. Bob has been around forever it seems and is somewhat of a living legend. First, as the singer of the influential band Hüsker Dü, and then with his second band Sugar, Bob has been making music for […]
