Here are a few of the drawings I made at the demo site in the Meadowlands, NJ. The old Giants/Jets Stadium is being torn down slowly but surely. I was surprised to see so few people working on such a big task. Maybe I was there during lunch? That’s what it felt like! Whatever the […]

View post →I had a great time working on this illustration for a piece in the January/February issue of the Utne Reader. It was a lovely story about two women of the same heritage, but with different views on spirituality, faith and tradition. It was full of great imagery and symbols, which I just LOVED! I’ll be […]

To me, one of the more interesting facts about this smallest of nations in the Americas, is that Alexander Hamilton spent his childhood there. When I read this I smiled and thought how contradictory these two visuals are. I pictured Alex, in […]
View post →So, as you’ve maybe noticed, most international holidays are just that, holy-days. Today in Spain, and many other countries, is the day to celebrate St. James.

View post →July 10th is El Cid Day. The great campeador! It’s interesting to post this right after the Lotus Temple post, because El Cid represents much of the war and violence that often happens in the name of religion. However, I hear he was very good at what he did.
