When Ronnie and I took a class out to the West Coast this past July we were down by Fisherman’s Wharf for the Fourth of July. There was a band/orchestra that played and performed only Michael Jackson music. This lady and her dog were dancing to the music all day long. This drawing has two […]
View post →Here is a drawing from a concert I attended (during then unscheduled nor’easter) at Town Hall NYC last Saturday. The performer, Jeff Mangum, had not performed for nearly 13 years so it was a room filled with an unusual level of anticipation.

View post →Took this drawing I made of an Afro-Cuban band in New Orleans a few years ago and messed around with it in the computer. It was fun to create the brown line and add some music/energy marks in bright colors. This was an awesome band, the old Cuban guys really knew how to create a […]

View post →Barcelona is such a beautifully surreal city. The architect, Antonio Gaudi, helped make it so with his organic, wonderfully undulating architecture. It snakes it’s way around the city and winds up in Park Guell, a massively exotic architectural fantasy land set atop a mountain looking down on Gaudi’s obsession, Sagrada Familia. I enjoyed the magical […]

View post →The Metropolitan Museum of Art … is a tree of life to the worlds greatest art. It’s my church, my schoolyard, my home away from home. Just 20 minutes from the house there’s no better place to be – Michele
View post →While waiting for the band “Architecture in Helsinki” to come onstage at Webster Hall I had the opportunity to draw the fans from an unusual vantage point: Perched slightly above them, atop the speakers. This crowd was quite mellow and friendly. The full review of the show (and more drawings) are on my music blog.
View post →A drawing of the Zakim Bridge in Boston. I love the elegance of this bridge. I remember being very cold when I made this drawing, and there was a group of street people with a somewhat menacing air right near me, but neither of those things could break the impact seeing this bridge in twilight […]

View post → Another portrait from a golden day at Mystic Seaport this past spring. While that good ol’ salt of the earth kinda guy I shared with you last week tended his dogwatch singing those beautiful shanty tales he was accompanied by a seamstress who (like I) couldn’t get enough of the treasured moment, Michele
View post →This young man’s oddly-shaped bag gave him away as a musician, and he was a joy to draw listening to his ipod, which undoubtedly bestowed some sublime pleasures onto his carefully tuned ears…
View post →Neil and I took our bicycles through the Haitian neighborhood in Providenciales, and I did some drawing. There is a large Haitian community in the Turks & Caicos, because the local population iss not large enough to handle all the work that needs to be done in the hotels on Grace Bay. These guys were […]
View post →Had a chance to catch the ex-Pavement frontman last Sunday night at Webster Hall in NYC. I decided to break out the black paper and crayons for this one. I always enjoy working in this “reverse” way and I just felt like it captured the mood a bit better than black on white…however, I did […]
View post →These two lovely New York ladies maintained their stoically upright posture for over 100 blocks. It’s amazing what years of unwanted attention can do…
