RU Connected?

Here's a new drawing for Rutgers Magazine. It's for a story about how various alumni stay connected to their alma mater. This particular couple from Nebraska show their pride with RU 81 license plates, along with cattle on their ranch branded with a distinctive RU. Below are are sketches I submitted for this story.

Intersection

Here's a drawing of the main intersection of my town, Red Hook, NY. The original piece measures 36" by 12",  and it was drawn with ink and charcoal. Quality prints are available here. It's part of a series called Local Life, which is on display at Taste Budd's Cafe  until October 31st. If you're in the area, I hope you'll stop in and take a peek!

Gregg Rolie Band

These sketches are either chicken scratch, or my attempts to capture the Gregg Rolie Band playing live. Gregg is a founding member of Santana, and with three percussionists, he brought the rhythm on Saurday night! The banded headlined at Hardscrabble Day, an annual all-day festival in my town.  I drew these while standing in the dark, on the side of the stage. The results are extremely sloppy, but somehow the intense energy of the band's performance translates into the lines.

Rhinecliff Station

 

  I drew this piece on August 27th at 12:56 PM at Rhinecliff Station. These passengers are waiting for the Amtrak Empire service to Penn Station. I used a train schedule as a canvas.  It's part of a series called Local Life, which is on display at Taste Budd's Cafe in Red Hook, until October 31st. If you're in the area, I hope you'll stop in and take a peek!

Bard Fisher Center

On August 29th,  I sat under a tree on the Bard College campus, and started this drawing. It depicts the Richard B. Fisher Center for Performing Arts, a building designed by Frank Gehry.  I  drew this on a map of Annandale-on-Hudson, NY (where  Bard is located).  This piece is part of Local Life, a series  interpreting people and landmarks in and around my town (Red Hook).  Many pieces from this series are on display at Taste Budd's Cafe until October 31.  If you're in the area, I hope you'll take a peek!

Bard College

Here's a drawing of the International Studies building on the campus of Bard College. The school is located on the shoreline of the Hudson River. I drew this piece directly on a map of the area.

Wilderstein

As haunted house season is creeping up, here's a new piece I drew at the spooky Wilderstein mansion last week. It was drawn on an old map of Rhinebeck, NY, and is  included in an exhibit of locally themed drawings which are on display at Taste Budd's Cafe in Red Hook. If you live locally, please stop in and take a peek!

Golden Wok

Here's a new drawing of the Golden Wok, which happens to be my favorite Chinese restaurant. I painted directly on a their menu to create this piece.
