I went to a club with Ronnie and Julia in the city where we were also joined by Mary Ann. These musicians were incredible, as well as the singer, hiding between two of the musicians in the drawing! I think music and drawing make an incredible couple! Margaret Hurst

View post →Rush hour in Amsterdam. It’s true, people on bicycles are as thick at rush hour as people in cars are here in NYC. If only the Citibike plan actually worked, I could be making this drawing on the corner of 1st Ave and 14th St., instead of having to fly across the Atlantic to make it. […]
View post →Took a trip to Scranton with Julia Sverchuk and Veronica Lawlor because Veronica, Ronnie, was conducting a drawing workshop for Synaesthesia Social hosted by Ted Michalowski. These musicians were incredible, and incredibly in tuned with each other! Jamie Orfanella played the didgeridoo. I have included the other musicians in the drawing with their hands: Tyler […]

View post →This is a drawing of some of the people who work in the Chinese Pavilion at Epcot Center at Disney World. They were standing in various places around the pavilion so I went around to draw each them and designed them on the same page. The Chinese Pavilion is an amazing place to draw people […]
View post →While on a recent trip to Crete I went to see the tree that is said to be between 3,000 and 5,000 years old. It is scientifically impossible to accurately date olive trees because they lose their “heartwood” and do not have rings to count. But many scientists agree that the tree in Vouves, Crete […]

View post →As Despina pointed out so beautifully on Tuesday, this past weekend we were at Mystic Seaport with the Dalvero Academy. The seaport was so beautiful in the snow on Sunday, and it was so dreamlike to see the masts of the Charles W. Morgan, anchored at Chubb’s Wharf, peeking over the tops of the trees and […]

Anyway, this is a drawing I made of a parade in MGM studios in DisneyWorld when I was a student, about a hundred […]
