Had some fun with some Mystic Seaport stamps while reportaging the 38th Voyage of the Charles W. Morgan. The stamps were fun and I just added some water! Margaret Hurst
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 →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 […]
View post →Amsterdam is truly a beautiful city, a mix of cobblestone streets and little canals. And the people really love their bicycles! Why not? I think it’s the idyllic lifestyle to ride a bicycle to work and play. Plus, you have flowers everywhere. sigh. posted by Veronica

View post →One of the most memorable moments of my recent voyage on the Charles W. Morgan was when one of the sailors began singing sea shanties on board. It was foggy on the deck, and a most soulful moment. You can read more about the voyage in part 3 of my visual essay here. posted […]

View post →Tuesday, August 12, is World Elephant Day! I love elephants. I want them to be around forever, so I hope the world saves them and doesn’t need their teeth for some ornament or piece of jewelry. Let’s protect them and give them a voice. WORLD ELEPHANT DAY AUGUST 12, 2014 Margaret Hurst
View post →I spent Thursday at Yankee Stadium sitting close to, and drawing, outfielder Ichiro Suzuki. For those of you that don’t know, “Ichiro” is perhaps the greatest player ever to play both in Japan and the Major Leagues. And I just read yesterday that the Yankees have placed him on waivers (he is available for trade), […]
View post →This is a drawing I made of an “old school” occupation. Old presses are really quite beautiful. And so are the people who are interested in preserving their history. –Despina PS- switched places wth Michele this week. Look for her post on Sunday!
View post →A quick drawing I made in my sketchbook, of our ever-changing NYC skyline. This was made from the Central Park Zoo. You can see the giant pencil-thin tower, “One 57” going up at the right. It’s even taller now than it was when I drew this, about two months ago. I hear you’ll be able […]
View post →On a recent trip to Boston with Dalvero Academy we spent the afternoon in Copley Square. The square is beautiful, historical and modern. Under a small leafy green tree across the street from the Boston Public Library is the finish line for the Boston Marathon where a small wooden memorial is representing the four people […]
View post →Recently at the ICA in Boston I got to watch a beautiful dance troupe (they were all quite beautiful) perform live with the Boston harbor as backdrop. Unfortunately I can’t remember the names and details at the moment but when I get a chance I’ll post more drawings and info on my blog: www.despinageorgiadis.com
