Yesterday was the first Sunday in November – in New York City that means it’s time for the marathon! 40,000 people run 24 miles through the five boroughs of New York – Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan.

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 →As Labor Day weekend fades in the rear view mirror, it’s time for me to come to grips with the fact that summer is ending. I have always hated to see the end of summer in New York – warm weather, more free time, and friends coming to visit. This summer is no exception. While […]

Spent this morning scanning my drawings, which I will post soon, but then heard about the demonstration activity going on outside the Con Edison building in NYC, so had to go over and draw that first.

The Intrepid is docked on the Hudson river pier at about 45th Street in Manhattan. A ton of people came to see the arrival […]
