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’m not Irish, so I have never really celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. Growing up, all I ever really knew about the holiday was that it was the time of year that Entenmenn’s would offer up those yummy green cupcakes with the green leaves all over the box. But now, I have a little boy, and […]
View post →…or the Academy Awards. I think I may have started a tradition for myself by drawing while watching the Oscars! I did it last year, and this year I thought, why not again. Mostly I love looking at the classic styles and the not-so-classic gowns that the stars are skillfully presenting to the sea of […]

View post →A holiday that baffles me, I guess because of its origins and popularity. But it’s for love, and I’m all for that. This is from a project about the marriage of Peleus and Thetis. In Greek mythology, it is one of the many events that got the Trojan War rolling. Aah, the power of love! […]

The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra led by Wynton Marsalis put on such a beautiful show. And all along, projected onto jumbo screens above the orchestra, was a slideshow of some of the most […]

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 […]
