Water Front Dream

No harm in dreaming of looking out the window of your home to be met by a water front dream. Eddie PeÃ±a

Eugene Merman at the Bellhouse

The hilarious Eugene Merman (the creepy super from “Flight of the Conchords”) reading us the open letter he wrote to Time Warner Cable after some frustrating (and unfortunately rather typical) scheduling issues. He was warming up the crowd at Brooklyn’s Bell House for his friend Amanda Palmer, who later that night blew our collective minds. […]

Chinatown Gate

Chinatown in San Francisco is the largest Chinese community outside of Asia. The ‘Dragon Gate’ at the entrance to the neighborhood is the only authentic Chinatown gate in North America. I had the pleasure of sitting across from it, sipping a decaff cappucinno, and drawing several views. Heavenly! posted by Veronica Lawlor

Path station

I made this drawing while waiting for a late train. I really love drawing complication. Greg Betza

Moliere in the park

This summer I attended a very memorable performance of Moliere’s “The school for husbands” by the New York Classical Theater in Central Park, and this is one of the drawings I did of the farce. There are more drawings of this performance on my website.

Japanese Maple Tree

Spent some time in the Japanese garden at Golden Gate Park. I thought it would be fun to slow down and draw this maple tree. I enjoyed drawing all the leaves, and adding a little bit of color. What a beautiful garden, a must see if you’re visiting San Francisco. I drew this on Canson […]

Then and now

Two 1920ies models in beachwear triggering some special memories in a pair of mature (and still stylish) gallery visitors.

Gas Works Park

This summer Margaret and I did a three day Dalvero Academy/Urban Sketchers workshop in Seattle. What a great city! I really loved the people, the place – EVERYTHING! On the second day of the workshop, we took the students to Gas Works Park on the shore of Lake Hood. Wow! What a place! In the […]

passport adventures…Mystic Seaport

Mystic Seaport is one of those places that uniquely changes every time you visit. There’s an unpredictable quality that’s rare and wonderful. It should be a must on everyone’s bucket list! Below’s a quick preliminary study for a logo design.-Michele medium: pastel and graphite

Parasites

the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other. Wikipedia If only that behavior did not exist among us. Eddie PeÃ±a

Canyons of New York

I recently had the opportunity to draw from a terrace on the 47th floor of a downtown New York City building – talk about getting dizzy. But what an exhilarating experience! – Veronica

On the plane

Just a quick drawing of my wife sitting next to me on a recent flight.

Food

People having a good meal at a local diner. Eddie PeÃ±a

Admiration for a geometric skirt

I had the good fortune to catch the fabulous Sonia Delaunay fashion and textiles show at the Cooper-Hewitt Design Museum before it closed, and I got even more than I bargained for: Not only were the pieces on display exquisitely wacky and tasteful, but the show turned out to be a magnet for some very […]

Another small study on location down at the South Street Seaport. People can often bring the best of character! –Michele Medium: pen and ink
