Musicians in Motion


Drawing musicians as they perform live can be thrilling. It doesn't matter whether you're listening to blues, punk, hip-hop, classical or folk - the energy of the music usually translates into the picture. I drew this portrait of Co. Bruce Hampton (above) on Saturday evening as he played a free concert in my town. This reminded me of a variety of musical performances I've attended in recent years. I hope you enjoy this retrospective...

Sketching off to Buffalo...

The Outer Circle Orchestra rocks the Buffalo waterfront, opening for Arrested Development.

Here are recent sketches from the streets of my hometown, Buffalo. From a world-class philharmonic orchestra to the world-music grooves of the Outer Circle Orchestra, this beautiful city is brimming with music and life!

Arrested Development put at least 10,000 hands in the air at Canal Fest!

Drawing in darkness, I made the Buffalo Philharmonic look like a grunge band.
