I have been looking over the daily routine and trying to factor in the things that matter the most. Make it practice, make it perfect. I grew up on a printing press—assisting. I watched as the schedule was adjusted daily. Pushing to do better but never getting too far ahead of ourselves. It was the […]

I know this is momentary, no matter how long the moment might be lasting. I can’t say that I haven’t adjusted to being so close to home every day, day in and day out, but as the moments have come to do what I so love to do, I jump right in with both feet. […]

Another socially distant drawing from two weeks ago. Cafe’s and crowds itching to gather a little closer have passed the time, but there is a whole population I have been itching to draw. As we establish proper boundaries and protocol it was nice to be able to go onsite and draw.—Dominick

Socially distanced I drew last week as another chapter came to a close. I won’t say the story is over, he has a little bit more to pass on. Press, pressman, and inspector will move on to another adventure. Hopefully I can get access again once the new digs are set up. I have to […]

I finished a project two weeks, and like one of the drawings from it, it is becoming something of yesterday. —Dominick

The last month or so has been very busy in the studio—projects coming and going. As Spring keeps trying to pop it’s head through the ground I had planned on drawing crocusie—croci, crocuses, croquettes—however you spell many crocuses. But as they bloomed during breakfast and were gone by lunch I figure I have to put […]

He hated this drawing but it was one of my favorites for the day. I never realized how funny we (I used to do this job for him way back when I was not supposed to be doing this job for him) look trying to clean the press. Our arms and hands have to get in to […]

Planning on heading back to Jersey tomorrow to do some drawing of my father. This will be the first time for 2017 and the first time not in the summer heat. Oh, wait, it’s supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow? WTF!!???—Dominick

Well, on paper it was actually more like a yellow-beige day, but in the bottle it looked rather orange. PMS I don’t remember orange. I usually write it down. Today I didn’t. Today I was working on zero caffeine, central nervous system on idle, and time was shifted in the wrong direction, at least for work. […]

View post →Two weeks can seem like an eternity and sometimes it can happen overnight. Sometimes both occur to prove science still has not fully grasped the time space continuum. Had I written down my resolutions maybe they would have meant a little more. So I start today. I vow to keep up with this blog, fill […]
View post →Film III Yellow to be exact, but that is not story. I found myself drawing alongside my father the other day, oddly enough 2 years to the day I started documenting him. I pulled up to the shop a “little while” after he did. I couldn’t hear the presses running so I knew I was […]
