potato bugs
it's springtime and the world is busy a'movin'. roly poly bugs are a'movin', and thanks to a comment from cheryl, i will henceforth refer to them as potato bugs (and no, i never really liked the term pill bugs). get going lil' potato bug friends.

speaking of a'movin', the rss for this blog is changing. i'll probably warn you again, but here you go: UPDATE YOUR RSS...or the potato bugs will come for you!

travel sketches
a bunch of travel sketches from a recent trip ... alphabets, squiggles, pill bugs (actually, i prefer calling them roly poly bugs), cowboys, brains. fairly disjointed i would say.

cafe royal
greenpoint, the fifth most livable neighborhood in new york (uh, what?) gets a new coffeeshop, cafe royal. it's a neat old space with tile floors, student style combo-desks, and a backyard. return visits will be had.

figure drawing
with the closure of the sva figure drawing workshop, i am branching out and testing one of the meetup groups that does figure drawing. added bonus, it's only about a mile from the studio (hotdamn).

chelsea market
how come no one ever told me what a great place chelsea market was? it's a perfect place to draw, lots of interesting architectural and industrial elements, plenty of seating, and tasty eats. okay, maybe people have mentioned it before.

sketchbook 2009...huh?
i have mentioned a couple of times recently that i was behind in my scanning and uploading of sketchbook work, well no more. 2009 is done! and while all these drawings are up on this here blog, flickr does such a nice organizational job, that i cross-posted over there. the joys of having too many disparate ways to post to the intertoobies.

sva figure drawing workshop
i recently learned that the age old sva figure drawing workshop (40+ years!?) is shutting down. there will be other places, but this one has been part of my life in NYC, and will be missed. special thanks to peter heinemann for his dedication, organization, and yelling at the new and unsuspecting folks :)
