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 […]

For each […]
View post →On Friday morning I took a walk through parts of lower Manhattan to document a bit of the downtown area, where power has been out for several days. Hurricane Sandy slammed the Northeast coast of the US, creating a massive storm surge that flooded much of the New Jersey coast, Staten Island, parts of Brooklyn […]
View post →Posting some more summer drawings – been busier drawing than posting this summer; that’s fun. These are a few drawings I made at Times Square at the end of July. I went out with fellow Studio 1482 members Margaret Hurst and Despina Georgiadis and we had a great time just drawing and hanging out together. […]
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 […]
