Last Sunday I traveled with the Dalvero artists to witness (and draw) the launch of the Charles W. Morgan, the only surviving wooden whale ship in the world. (If you remember, we currently have an exhibit of art documenting her restoration and history at the seaport – see it at www.dalveromystic.com.) A launch means that […]
View post →Recently I had the opportunity to draw the Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s west side from a bird’s eye view. The yards is the rail yards – where the MTA houses subway trains when they’re not in use. So the MTA has leased the air space over the Hudson Yards and it’s going to become a […]
View post →Recently my friend Lapin, the French illustrator and Urban Sketcher, was in town with his wife Lapinette and their beautiful little daughter Louise. We decided to take a trip to uptown Manhattan to the Cloisters to draw some French Medieval style and (maybe?) catch some sun. The sun didn’t cooperate, but we had a great […]
View post →Jackson Heights – a little New York City neighborhood, located somewhere between Pakistan and Colombia. At least, that’s how one of my new neighbors described it.

View post →Today was a taste of spring in New York City – the temperatures were in the upper forties (fahrenheit) and the sun was shining, that’s right, SHINING, all day! I had the good fortune to spend a few hours on the Highline, a park on Manhattan’s west side, and make some drawings of the New […]
View post →Here are a few images from the exhibit: The Unspecific Index, on view at 601Artspace through Feb 2. (http://www.601artspace.org/). I’m standing in front of the mural I designed for artist Paul Ryan, illustrating his EARTHSCORE notational system, and its applications to environmental issues and inter-personal communication. If you are interested in what the symbols on […]
View post →The Empire State Building was blue on Saturday night – I had to draw it. For a good many years of my adult life, I’ve lived within view of the Empire State Building. She has become a kind of presence for me, a guardian spirit. When I saw her shining blue light it made me […]
