Riverdale Country School

Here’s a little drawing commissioned by my friends at Riverdale Country School. It’s unique shape was designed to fit on envelopes containing promotional material about the school. I was asked to illustrate this quote by the school’s founder, Frank Sutliff Hackett:  “It is not the work done which inspires enthusiasm, but the work to be done -- the long vista and the yet unfolded close.”

A special thanks to Cicely Upham and Marie Capasso for this fun assignment.

Here are sketches submitted for this assignment

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.
