Bonsai for Japan’s Next Generation

I loved Veronica’s “Zen Garden,” and Eddie’s “Bonsai Tree,” Â from their last blog art on onedrawingaday.com. Bonsai’s are generational, so I Â feel that is a great symbol for Japan right now. Â They, the Japanese, Â will go on, there will be more generations to come and more beauty created in the world by the Japanese people. […]

Harry Connick, Jr.

Been going through my flat files lately, and came across a series of drawings I did when Harry Connick, Jr. performed outside of Bloomingdale’s for the Christmas crowd. This was fun to draw, and one of many reasons why I like living in New York City. – posted by Veronica.
