This is a drawing of the actual space shuttle Discovery. The shuttle is housed in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. I’ve never been much into air & space, but when you’re in the presence of a shuttle, a Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird, a Concorde, and the Enola […]

View post →I recently went to draw at the Plaza Hotel in NYC. Very beautiful area with rich history, beautiful structures and some of the best people watching. I saw a ridiculously long line for the “Sex and the City” Tour Bus. Very funny. Maybe I’ll post the drawing of that another day. This time, I’ll share […]

View post →I’m a Bob Dylan fan. I think he is a genius. AND I finally had the opportunity to see him last Saturday night at the Beacon Theatre in New York City! Not the easiest place to draw as it was very DARK, but between my memory of what he looks like and the little that […]

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.
