Tick-tock

My grandfather died last winter at 98 so I’m not even half his age yet. Maybe I’m only approaching the midpoint of my life, or maybe I’ll have massive heart attack and keel over at my desk this afternoon....

Take a workshop with me ... from anywhere

"Magic" shipped

Click To Play - may take a moment or two to load We just finished the first Crayola commercial and it has been pretty well received within the company. It was a little nerve wracking to make because we...

Class with a capital "K"

Like father, like son, kinda

My father has been drawing self portraits every day for ages. He just sent me a day's output, drawn looking down into a mirror lying flat on the table. In the accompanying note, he says: "Doing things in pen is...

The Magic Mailbox

Mother Nature didn't get the e-mail

When I walked Joe at 8:30, all indicators pointed to 'go' so I threw on a couple of layers, picked up my folding stool and drawing bag and at 9 I was standing under the Washington Square Arch.
