One bright spot of hope in this global pandemic has been the love that ordinary people are showing for each other. Acts of bravery, by those working in our hospitals; acts of kindness, by those delivering groceries, sewing masks, and checking in on neighbors; and acts of determination, by those working to find a cure […]

If all goes well, and I self isolate, I will not see who this was originally intended for. I will not see the nurses, doctors, healthcare professionals, EMTs, police officers, firefighters, and the many other front line responders whose chosen professions are to help us. THEY CHOSE A PROFESSION TO HELP. A thought I can […]

This illustration, Love Has No Boundaries, is a THANK YOU to all of those dedicated people who work in our hospitals caring for those ill with covid19, the first responders who continue to answer the call, and the grocery store cashiers, bus drivers, delivery people, subway workers, community organizers, and everyone else who continues to […]

I had the great pleasure of seeing Mark Lanegan tonight at Warsaw in Brooklyn. The one artist I would travel to great lengths to see. Possibly one of the best shows I have seem him give, and over the years I have seen a few.—Dominick

The new congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been busy making headlines since her inauguration this January. If you look closely in this drawing I made in Jackson Heights last spring, at a rally against family separations at the southern border, you’ll see her holding the banner. She was out there marching with the organizations, Queens Neighborhoods […]

There were demonstrations all across the United States this past Saturday against the administration’s immigration policies, and the separation of children from their parents as they try to cross the border.

Nothing better than spending a Saturday afternoon drawing with my studio mates.—Dominick
View post →This past Sunday afternoon, Neil and I took a ride out to the site of the 1964 World’s Fair in Flushing Meadow Park, Queens. While Neil practiced skateboarding around the unisphere, I made a drawing of it. Great way to spend some time on a Sunday. Posted by Veronica.
View post →As my older son closed off his first year at a new school in June we thought it would be an interesting summer if we set up a treasure hunt that would last throughout their vacation. The mission was to ride every carousel we could find in the tri-state area (including Nassau and Suffolk). To simply […]
View post →I guess this weekend is all about bridges! This drawing is of the beautiful Ed Koch Bridge. A.k.a- Queensboro Bridge. But it will always be the 59th Street Bridge to me. I grew up in Astoria, Queens, and this bridge always represented the passageway to an adventure. Going across that bridge, to this day, […]
View post →This past Saturday morning, despite the FREEZING weather, I decided to go over to Main Street in Flushing, Queens, and draw the lunar new year parade. There were two distinct sections to the parade: one was Chinese and the other was Korean. It was so interesting to see the differences, graphically, between the two cultures. […]

View post →As New Yorkers we often think we’re so much “in control”. Yet this week Mother Nature really let be known who’s in charge! Still stunned by how many trees we lost in my neighborhood from the tornado I spent a few minutes in the yard wondering how the birds reacted to the loss. To my […]

View post →Saw this T’ai Chi master leading a class in a park in Queens, New York. He was here from China for a few weeks. Queens is the most international city in the United States, so it didn’t surprise me to see him there. Even though he moved very slowly, he moved very quickly as well. […]
