Iowa Haystacks

 

I drew this piece in tribute to the Agricultural heart of America, Iowa. While creating this drawing, I kept thinking about the legendary painter of Iowa landscapes, Grant Wood. This is part of a series called World Tour - in which I use pages from an old atlas as canvases - painting images relating to the place on each map.

Margot Robbie

 

While preparing for our Australia Day celebration (January 26), I thought it would be fun to grill shrimp on the barbie. This reminded me of a brilliant actress, Margot Robbie, who hails from Dalby, Australia. As evident in all her roles, Margot is a master of accents, but my favorite is when she speaks the one from down under.

Flaco the Owl

 

I was touched by the story of Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped his long-time enclosure at Central Park Zoo in February,2023 . People were concerned that he wouldn't survive out in the concrete jungle, but Flaco proved to be a deft big-city hunter. With his knack for freedom and survival, this plucky underdog gained a lot of fans. He gained the status of a folk hero, being spotted all over the city. Sadly, after he was found dead in February 2024, rat poison and severe pigeon virus were detected in his system. This owl will be missed, but his legend will live on. As my daughters stroll through Central Park, I imagine the wisdom of an owl perched upon their shoulders, guiding them on their path. Their freedom is fueled by this high-flying spirit, who soars above crosstown traffic. Long live Flaco.

 I was messing around with a drawing of Palestine sunbirds. Our prayers are with the people living in Gaza - who desperately need shelter, food, medical aid, and peace. We need a ceasefire now.
