View post →I went through some drawings that I made not too long ago and this little “jungle” drawing thumbnail appeared! It’s a jungle but not your typical jungle.

View post →I do believe it! I do believe it’s true! The Penguins at the Central Park Zoo are mesmerizing! They are so much fun to watch and draw. They never stay still for a moment. They’re either chatting with each other, eating, climbing out of the water, jumping into the water or swimming in the water! […]

View post →One week after Hurricane Sandy invaded New York I took my Dalvero class down to the World Trade Center. We arrived just in time to witness a very personal small ceremony of relatives of some victims of the 9/11 attacks. People were tying yellow ribbons around the lower branches of the Callery Pear Tree that […]
