Second Autumn has found its way to New York with a near 60 degree day or two. I’m getting over a cold but found the willpower to hasten my way down to the meer after a few weeks “off”*. Kathleen gave me a bunch of cold-press single sheets and i’ve…
A couple of days worth of drawing. One bitter cold; one unseasonably warm. The drawing is getting good enough and copious enough that i now have to stop posting the terrible work and just selectively update. Trust me that we both win in this. A selection spanning three days. The…
The meer is all boarded up with chainlink as a response to hurricane Sandy. I attempted to stop by last week but it was impassable. There was some talk of going last Saturday but the 20 degree windchill temps made sitting in the pre-dawn shade less than enviable. I tapped…
I co-curated an exhibition of Fanny Brennan paintings at Leigh Morse Fine Arts. The opening for “Fanny Brennan Retrospective” was last night and despite the aftermath of hurricane Sandy, the event was flush with revelers and a good time. The artist’s son and longtime friend of mine, Richard Brennan, and…
Hello All, When i can, I like to create process pieces on how Identity work develops and I’ve just done this for my new work for Bad Wolf Coffee over at the Behance portfolio site. If you’d like to watch the magic unfold please have a gander at: Bad Wolf…
The world is in … Tumult? A still in the air as the humidity rises and a Low pressure system holds the tri-state hostage in anticipation of the Frankenstorm approaching on Monday. So, unseasonably warm Autumn weather. Gray skies. Flat lighting. The trees continue their fiery march as green burns…
I’m co-curating a Fanny Brennan Retrospective that opens next week at Leigh Morse Fine Arts. Leigh asked that I design the invitations as well. A quick digital print run of the invites and the long-rumored 2-sided business cards came this past week. behold. The invite is an offset run on…
The tide is turning. For the better, i think. Perhaps a bad metaphor… doesn’t that thing come in and go out twice a day? Denning loaned me her incredibly precious “Claude Lorrain: The Painter as Draftsman” (rare tome) and i’ve been poring over it. Actually, it’s Lorrain’s sketches that pushed…
Inching forward with some style changes. Adding more wash and playing with that. Here’s three drawings from a couple of days this week. The last two from today when Denning and I went out for a brisk Autumnal morning and promptly sat in the shade for two hours. Well, that…
The last good day of Autumn? Of 2012? The weather’s going to take a dive here in the next few hours and the leaves will explode and the world will go quiet with the onset of grey. Until then though, sweaters off and squint into the glare that beats through…
rained out from Central Park, I hopped the no.4 bus and jaunted over to Harlem Public (#harlempublic) where Laurie and Jay kept me company, as well of a cast of other landscape aficionados. here i am in transition…
