… my true love said to me, did you know that you just posted the fifth day of Christmas. Maybe it is my upbringing and the lack of the sort of thing in my life as a child, but I am not one for resolutions come the New Year. While I am friendly with Janus and […]

Spring is upon us…and I’m sure I speak for you all when I say it feels quite different this year. Instead of bursting out of our homes to enjoy the warmer weather, blossoming plants and blooming flowers, we’re shut in, afraid to breathe the fresh air, especially if anyone is within 6 feet of that […]

Got caught daydreaming, time passes by a little quicker than we sometimes realize. Here’s to finding time the rest of the week for some daydreaming and thumbnailing the next project.—Dominick

A long time ago I was advised to put a clip on whatever didn’t quite make sense at the time and save it for further review at a later date. Put it under the bed. Pulling from a small stack on my table I realize there are more choices about than seem evident these days. […]

Found a stack of sketches from a few years ago that I didn’t remember making. The project has always stayed close to my board, but these were an unexpected memory.—Dominick

These little thumbnails were the catalyst for a project that occupied most of my 2018 – an illustrated interactive game wall at the new NYU Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital in New York, working with the talented people at Potion Design; a trip through NYC. This thumbnail was the start of the Central Park game, see the […]

I was very happy to help initiate our new Holiday category on studio1482.com this summer. It meant that I would be searching through and working on some projects that always seem to be in the forefront of my mind for a short but intense period of time but are never allowed the room to come […]

I said I would put down the feather quill but I gave it another shot and made this drawing of a patch of dead echinacea flowers. The constellations of pods are mesmerizing and the textures the various patterns make are so very Fall. Homemade walnut ink and pencil on paper. ~Despina

Carrying bags in from the car I was shocked to see one lonely crocus in the flowerbeds. Plenty of shoots that do not look as if they will produce any blooms, but right upfront was a sole crocus.
