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 [...]
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Spent the night before Thanksgiving drawing the balloon blow-up for the Macy’s parade here in New York City, an annual tradition for Macys and now, me too.
