My Etsy Shop

Thanks to my fantastic patrons, I had a super-busy holiday season - mailing out prints throughout the US and Europe. You can purchase signed prints of fun portraits year-round at my Etsy shop. I offer free shipping anywhere in the United States. I hope you’ll take a peek!

Bob Dylan

He emerged from the land of ten thousand lakes, with poetry tapped from the deepest of waters. His name is Bob Dylan.

Prints of this drawing are available here.

Here's a detail of this portrait.

Hudson Valley Maps

I've been sketching ideas for an exciting new project for a local client. The themes of these sketches represent various towns, people and landmarks of the Hudson Valley. Local maps are used as canvases. I'll be posting a lot more about this project (which has a very large scope) and my client very soon. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these images...

Pete Seeger, Hudson Valley

Fire Tower, Stissing Mountain

Bob Dylan, Woodstock

Bobby D.

One morning I was tuned into the Howard Stern Show. He announced that the great 'Bobby D' would be a guest in studio the next hour. Bobby D? Who's that? Bob Dylan? Bob Dole? Bob Deniro? It turned out the be the accomplished actor, Robert Duvall. In any case, the wonderful ambiguity of 'Bobby D' stayed with me - and inspired this tribute drawing.

1. Robert Deniro - my favorite goodfella of all time.

2. Bob Dole - the kind of moderate statesman who's sorely missed in today's congress.

3. Robert Duvall - a great actor, director, and tango dancer.

4. Bob Denver - star of a TV show I wasted much of my childhood watching.

5. Bobby Darin - Singer of one of my favorite songs, Beyond the Sea.

6. Bob Dylan - "I live like a poet and I'll die like a poet."

I'm certain I've overlooked some important  Bobby D's on this list.

Please write with any suggestions.

Thanks, and please come back and visit!

Update: You can see a new weekly list right here.

Byrdcliffe by Design

Before Woodstock, N.Y. became synonymous with a musical and cultural revolution, this Catskills town was known for its arts and crafts movement. The Byrdcliffe Arts Colony, founded in 1903, is at the heart of this creativity.  Artisans gather there to study painting, pottery, sculpture, ceramics, and other crafts. I was approached to design  a promotion for their upcoming artisans fair.  It was fun to doodle ideas suggesting all the beautiful hand-made items that will be available. My inspiration for the portrait above came from an iconic poster of Woodstock's most legendary resident, Bob Dylan. The illustrator responsible for this poster happens to sit on Byrdcliffe's board of directors, and his name is Milton Glaser.

A Byrdcliffe state of mind.

This bird flies high with a haul of great Byrdcliffe products.

Emphasis on hand-crafted products (within your grasp).
