View post →I love parades. I love drawing them: So much excitement and fun, since there is usually great music involved. Dancing and drawing simultaneously is just about the best high I can imagine. Anyway, this is a drawing I made of a parade in MGM studios in DisneyWorld when I was a student, about a hundred […]
View post →I have been digging through some old work, hoping to find new work misplaced, and found this “thumbnail” I made a while back. With all the crowds in NYC this week for President Obama’s visit I figured a mass of people made sense. Hoping I missed all the fun on my trip in today.—Dominick
View post →This past Saturday morning, despite the FREEZING weather, I decided to go over to Main Street in Flushing, Queens, and draw the lunar new year parade. There were two distinct sections to the parade: one was Chinese and the other was Korean. It was so interesting to see the differences, graphically, between the two cultures. […]

View post →I went uptown last Wednesday evening to watch the blowing up of the balloons for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. I love the surrealism of these giant cartoon characters, tied down like Gulliver while we Lilliputian citizens walk and gawk at the spectacle. Some of the characters are old friends, like Ronald McDonald; some are […]
View post →Following up with my recent Halloween parade post (parade) I thought I’d put up this drawing I made of the spectators. You can see, some of the people are watching the parade, some are watching the watchers, and some are having a cocktail party on the city bench. It’s really a relaxed, easy scene – […]
View post →I went downtown to draw the Yankees Victory parade up Broadway – the “canyon of heroes” on Friday morning. It was great fun to see the players go by on the floats: Matsui was reserved and cool, Mariano Rivera was suave, Damon played the crowd and Jeter was, of course, the heart-throb. But the best […]
View post →Happy Halloween! This drawing is from last year’s Halloween parade in New York’s Greenwich Village. Fellow Studio 1482 member Margaret Hurst and I went down to draw the proceedings. What fun! You can see more of these drawings on my blog entry from last year here. Trick or treat everyone! – Veronica
