View post →If you are following the Tour de France you are probably watching a live stream from the Champs Elysees in Paris right now. When I was there drawing the crowds and waiting for the cyclists, it was thrilling to be so near the Arc de Triomphe in a city that is so beautiful, watching and […]
View post →It’s always so much fun to look at a huge mess like this scene from the demolition site of the old Giants Stadium. It’s “eye candy”. From the mountains of gravel to the crooked metal beams, the whole scene became one giant texture. See a couple of more drawings from that day on my blog. […]
View post →Last week I mentioned life can be crazy hectic most days here in New York City. Yet even on the run there’s always time for a quick drawing. So while riding the E train down by Canal Street last Friday, I did a small reportage of a woman reading the New York Post. (Wonder what she was reading? […]
View post →While waiting for the band “Architecture in Helsinki” to come onstage at Webster Hall I had the opportunity to draw the fans from an unusual vantage point: Perched slightly above them, atop the speakers. This crowd was quite mellow and friendly. The full review of the show (and more drawings) are on my music blog.

When I went to see him in Central Park this summer I had no idea what to expect, and I was blown away by his hysterically funny performance, which also included some great music. Below […]
View post →Oh to be seventeen and prematurely confident again… These young ladies are waiting for a door to open and offer them the opportunity to be seen by their idol du jour. And truth be told, they didn’t mind being sketched in this crucial prelude to their close-up, either. I do hope he blew at least […]
View post →Brit-pop band The Kooks played a super-sold-out show at the Bowery Ballroom, and I had the good fortune of being there and making tons and tons of drawings that evening. This one is of curly-haired  frontman Luke Pritchard and guitarist Hugh Harris. There was a lot of hair to draw that night. The full review […]
View post →The hilarious Eugene Merman (the creepy super from “Flight of the Conchords”) reading us the open letter he wrote to Time Warner Cable after some frustrating (and unfortunately rather typical) scheduling issues. He was warming up the crowd at Brooklyn’s Bell House for his friend Amanda Palmer, who later that night blew our collective minds. […]
View post →This summer I attended a very memorable performance of Moliere’s “The school for husbands” by the New York Classical Theater in Central Park, and this is one of the drawings I did of the farce. There are more drawings of this performance on my website.
