Amazing full moon tonight…While out walking the dog very late, I was inspired to record a rough little nocturnal cityscape…this is (very) loosely based on my view looking out over Dean Street onto Bergen. I have been wanting to do some paintings of the city at night…this has whet my appetite.

Just finished this drawing for The New York Times’ Thursday Styles Section (June 8, 2006). The story was about how younger workers in their 20’s and 30’s are often passing on the standard two week vacations, in favor of longer vacations, in-between their frequent job-hopping.
Read on to see my sketch and my reference photo.
While feeling under the weather the last few days I made this Glowing Moose Head illustration combining pencil, sepia ink, and photoshop. It’s inspired by a photo I took last summer in Maine.
Today was a perfect steamy summer day to take a stroll in Prospect Park. The pooch and I went for a nice long walk, with a few stops for some sketching. You first walk out onto the open lawn, and the wave of moist grassy air laced with sweet barbecue washes over you. EVERYONE is out enjoying the best spot in Brooklyn. I am still finding cool little paths to walk through. You can actually get lost in there. Since I am still obsessed with Google Earth ( Click here to download ), here are the placemarks of exactly where these sketches were drawn:

About a month back my bro Jamie and I were sitting in the dining car of an Amtrak train on route to Pittsburgh. There was a handlebar-mustachioed Amtrak employee (right) doing some paperwork across the way and I took the opportunity to do a quick sketch and watercolor.
Right as I was finishing up, a second Amtrak employee asked me if I’d gotten permission to draw him. I told him no, I never asked people if I could sketch them. He said if I were in south Philly and someone caught me sketching them, a beat-down would ensue.
