Some drawings and observations from a recent concert I attended at Carnegie Hall in NYC: The full scale of it all. The conductor conducting wildly and the harpsichord player with the baroque beehive. The singer steps out for her solo. The battle of the vocal egos. A box seat. The diva. With a nod to […]
View post →I spent the last *unofficial* weekend of the summer in Chadds Ford, PA, home of the Brandywine school. The drawing above is from a jazz fest/wine tasting at the Chaddsford Winery. Wine from Pennsylvania – I never really considered it. I was at this winery two years ago and I do think that the wines […]
View post →Remembering September 11th, 2001. As I listen to the reading of the names of the victims at Ground Zero this morning, my mind goes to one woman that I will never forget. I was drawing the events that day, trying to make sense of what was going on. Both towers of the World Trade Center had fallen […]
View post →The Fall/Winter issue of Boston Weddings magazine is out, and the article, “Girl About Town”, features my illustrations of Boston. (The drawing shown above is an alternate illustration of the Zakim Bridge that was not used for the article.) I had a blast running up to Boston for the day, drawing my butt off, and […]
View post →Art in the Park – my apartment complex hosted this art in the park event – four painters had two hours to make a painting in front of the crowd. At the end of the two hours the audience voted for their favorite painter, who got a $1000 prize. It’s like Bravo reality tv is […]
View post →One of the best things about summertime is time to play! Days spent sitting on an old sheet in the grass, napping, reading, and of course, drawing. I love being able to mess around and try some new ways of expression, just for the fun of it. These drawings were made in the local park […]
View post →Just returned from a short trip to DC with Neil and his daughters Ashley and Danielle. There wasn’t time for me to do a lot of reportage, but I did manage to make a quick drawing outside the White House. We were all pushed back by security on horseback to the yard behind the main […]
View post →Spiders of Allah is released in the U.S.! Here it is displayed at a Barnes and Noble store in midtown – looks good!! I’m really happy with the way the cover came out, and I recommend the book 100%. You can read the review in Time magazine online, or in the upcoming issue of Mother […]
View post →There’s nothing more poignant than a swing set in the rain. The sight of it evokes memories of summer afternoons of my childhood in the Bronx; the smell of the rain hitting the hot pavement signaling the end of playing on the swings. “But I get wet in the bathtub – what’s the difference?”, my […]
View post →This is a drawing of my favorite corner in New York City. I’ve spent many hours on this corner shooting video, but I’ve never drawn it until now. It’s walking distance from where I live, and it reminds me of the old New York, the one I grew up in. On a hot summer day […]
