Piazza del Popolo, Rome
Union Square, intersection at 14th Street—this afternoon, sun's shadows seemed perfectly aligned and perpendicular with Manhattan's North-South streets today. I think many New Yorkers sensed this, but just didn't admit it to themselves.

caught that decisive moment of a goose bobbing down for food. the impression of its head has created a bowl shape in the water.
The Clown Olympics hosted by The Brick Theatre in Williamsburg last night. Events ranged from 'Solo Trips and Falls' to 'Kiddie Pool Synchronized Swimming'.

spent the weekend down in DC and visited the National Gallery which is one of my favorite museums. it's chuck full of masterpieces; the main rooms are all lit with natural light; and there's a beautiful austerity to how the art is displayed. this is a photo that i took of Randolph Rogers's marble statue entitled "Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii". carved in 1860. photography of a museum's general collection is usually permitted. it's the travelling shows that prohibit photographs.
St. Giglio Festival in Williamsburg began last Sat. with the ceremonial procession of a seven-story high statue topped with St. Giglio himself. It's a stone's throw away from the Lorimer St. on the "L" train.
this a mock-up of an animation i'm working on.

i found this old soap postcard at a flea market, reminded me of a character that i created. struck me as an odd image for soap, but it's a nice fundamental hollywoodeque conflict—boy protects girl from scary bear.
i often draw onto of magazines photos for inspiration and character development; a form of coffee table graffiti, i guess
Although this looks like a pixilated Photoshop image of a Jan van Eyck painting, it's actually a tapestry of 5,024 spools of thread hung upside-down in vertical rows by the artist Devorah Sperber. An optical device in front of the piece encapsulates the van Eyck in miniature. See it at the Brooklyn Museum of Art until May 6th.
here's an acrylic painting on canvas that i did recently. i caked on the paint, gives the process more of an oil-paint feel.

Sneak peak of a character that i've been working on.

It's in Brussels, and a must see you for anyone interested in 20th Architecture, make that futuristic architecture as well. Designed by André Waterkeyn. Built in 1958 for the International Exhibition of Brussels. 102 meters high and based off of an iron molecule magnified 165 billion times. It reopened in February of this year.

I have to say, Belgium is a great city for graffiti, street art and comics (has a comic museum to prove it, although I wasn't as impressed with the museum as with what I saw on the streets and in bookstores. Here's a great place for comics, it's called Brusel (Boulevard Anspachlaan 100 Bruxelles 1000 Belgium (www.brusel.com). Check it out when you're there. They had a signed Chis Ware print in the window...

I did the text for this in PowerPoint and brought in into Flash. Everyone rips on the PowerPoint, but actually it's one of the best one's out there for doing 3D text. Easy to use too.
