This is a drawing of one of many temples of many different religions that co-exist in Singapore, the Sri Krishna Hindu temple. The old man sitting in front of the temple ran over to see the drawing I made of him. He let me know that my drawing did NOT look like him. Guess what, […]

When I talk about this, people will sometimes say to me, “Well, all […]

View post →I loved Ronnie’s previous post of the cigar smokers! It was a truly fun evening in Cuba drawing the cigar smokers at our hotel! They were so into it! It turns into this ritual fantasy. The body language tells it all! They are definitely in another zone. Could have drawn them forever! m. hurst
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 […]

View post →Rush hour in Amsterdam. It’s true, people on bicycles are as thick at rush hour as people in cars are here in NYC. If only the Citibike plan actually worked, I could be making this drawing on the corner of 1st Ave and 14th St., instead of having to fly across the Atlantic to make it. […]
