I watched as the trucks arrived and the crew set up for the day. Having no idea how long it takes to dismantle and drop a 70 foot tall maple tree, I set up surveillance to track the progress. Spys were keeping me informed and the sounds of “The Ch ...
Last night I attended the panoramic performance of “the Scottish play”, Macbeth, put on by the New York Classical Theatre. They are giving free outdoor performances in Battery Park every evening at 7 pm through August 20th. (One of the perks of s ...
Sitting on a table, adjacent to my drawing board, is a small tome of little consequence to the outside world. Thus far only a few copies exist. As I have written and posted about on One Drawing a Day over the past few years I have been documenting ...
My apologies for the Friends reference, but it’s just how we refer to London in my house when we are excited. I was made aware that I don’t share as much as I should when the following material was presented to close friends over the 2016 holiday ...
Last Sunday, organizers put together a rally in New York’s Times Square, titled: “Today, I am a Muslim Too.” The rally was set up as an a-political event in support of the large Muslim population of NYC. As an entry for so many immigrants for s ...
These have been busy times for reportage illustrators, as it seems like every day since the inauguration is a new change of policy and a new protest in response. Here in NYC, there have been many protests in response to the 90 day travel ban on 7 Mus ...
When I got back on the DC Metro Friday afternoon I had already decided I would not post anything on Instagram. A single image and a few hashtags doesn’t quite do the subject justice. By the time I was eating lunch a few hours later (first time at B ...
Girls night for the ladies of Studio 1482 included drawing and wine and French food. The theme at the Society of Illustrators sketch night was The Nutcracker. Having a former ballet dancer play the role of the little dreamer girl was a treat. Here ar ...
Above are some screen shots of a drawing of Central Park that I created digitally. The difference with this drawing is that it is totally immersive – you can move into it, pan around it, let it move past you – this is a dream come true for drafts ...
The most fun I’ve had this political season was live drawing the first presidential debate. The faces, poses, hand gestures, reactions…it’s all too much! Here are a few from Monday’s debate. ...
This past Sunday Neil and I took a short ride over to Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, to see some of the festivities commemorating the 140th anniversary of the Battle of Brooklyn. It was the largest battle of the Revolutionary War, and although we lo ...
Gandhi with color!!! I was so happy to make this drawing with the beautiful flowers surrounding Gandhi! For some reason it made me think of his quote: “An eye for an eye will leave everyone blind.” Gandhi with a Starbucks cup filled with sunflowe ...
The other day my son and I went to see, draw and SMELL the famous and rare Corpse Flower at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. It was a great adventure waiting on long lines in the 90 degree weather, and squirming through crowds in the humid ...
The Bernie Sanders Rally took place in Washington Square Park in New York City in June. It was a very peaceful and interesting rally. At that time there was great hope that Bernie would be the Democratic nominee to run for President of the United Sta ...
I had the privilege to travel to Hawaii this month. Everything you’ve heard is true. The place is paradise. I literally made some of these paintings at a place called the Garden of Eden. I was constantly inspired by the landscape, the beauty just d ...
