View post →Last Sunday I traveled with the Dalvero artists to witness (and draw) the launch of the Charles W. Morgan, the only surviving wooden whale ship in the world. (If you remember, we currently have an exhibit of art documenting her restoration and history at the seaport – see it at www.dalveromystic.com.)Â A launch means that […]
View post →A drawing/watercolor I made for a book I wanted to illustrate, Anansi Stories. The Anansi myth is from Africa. Basically Anansi is a trouble maker. He is mainly represented as a spider, but I thought it might be fun to make him human. In this picture/drawing Anansi is collecting up all the common sense in […]

View post →A lot of my friends find it a bit strange that I keep saying that moving from Manhattan to Jackson Heights is like moving to the country. Remember that Seinfeld episode when Kramer described Queens that way? There is definitely something to it, because here it is the weekend, and I am making a drawing […]
