Took a few minutes to draw the wonderful Disney World Tea Cup ride at the Magic Kingdom a few weeks ago while working with Dalvero artists! Lots of selfies, but no selfie sticks, unfortunately! The Tea Cups are my favorite ride, mostly because people rotate themselves a little extra and they get off the ride […]

View post →Last weekend marked 50 years since the independence of Singapore, and they had a big party! I missed the party, but was in Singapore a few weeks earlier for the 6th International Urban Sketchers Symposium, and made the drawing above. It’s the solar powered ‘super trees’  from Gardens by the Bay, a beautiful fantasy-like place that […]

View post →As Marg pointed out in yesterday’s post, we just returned from Cuba. I have been fighting a traveler’s cold, and not able to scan too much yet, but wanted to put up this drawing as a ‘bocadito’ – or little snack. Will be posting my drawings and thoughts on the experience on my home blog […]

We asked him why he did this. He said it was for his baby daughter, that she would be well. He asked us […]

Here I was exploring the language in the graphic marks so much of their craft ware displays while in the hunt for symbols “of […]
