I lie, it was a big drawing. One that I needed to scan in several parts. Wish I had brought a smaller pad. Who knew that could really be a thing.—Dominick

When I was drawing on Friday at Vassar College I knew that the event was part of something much bigger. As the days have progressed since I have watched a 16 year-old from Sweden give a speech to the United Nations and have had various discussions regarding the state of the earth and what comes […]

A long time ago I was advised to put a clip on whatever didn’t quite make sense at the time and save it for further review at a later date. Put it under the bed. Pulling from a small stack on my table I realize there are more choices about than seem evident these days. […]

Found a stack of sketches from a few years ago that I didn’t remember making. The project has always stayed close to my board, but these were an unexpected memory.—Dominick

One of my favorite posters in the past ten years, nothing sums up that you are never just passing through than a reminder that you might drive differently if you lived on the very street you were so eagerly trying to get across.

On our quest for enlightenment at Columbia University a few weeks ago my wife and I had the opportunity to listen to several great speakers hosted by Teachers College. It is rare that I am led through a day with little agenda other than to accompany my partner in life. I had no idea what we […]

A long time ago, in a land down yonder river, I started an adventure with a knight. It follows me wherever I go and recently appeared right before my eyes. Tales of long ago, and not so long ago as well, flooded back. Maybe the snow moon will bring along some new directions. —Dominick

It was like Narnia outside today, yet no Turkish Delight to be found. Lots of ice and no time to play. I keep telling myself the next time it snows I am taking a snow day, but something always comes up. Maybe next time. What did that woodchuck see last week anyway? —Dominick

I hadn’t come prepared for the theme of the night, but when two people at the bar were playing chess and the music filling the room was resonating out hymns of kings and queens I quickly realized that the act before me was several moves ahead of me. Arielle and Brendan produced a full set […]
