The change into autumn has begun; less humidity, cooler nights, and Alas! it begins to grow dark well before 8:00 these days. In honor of the waning summer, following are a few selects from that weekend we went to the North Fork of Long Island last month. I cannot help but to get sad at… Continue reading a few photos (overdue) from the Upper Tine
A sneak peek at some new silverplate pendants: the caravel from my litho print (a bit of lizzie faux scrimshaw), classic Amsterdam buildings (for key chains to sell at Rolling Orange), and a close-to image of a jade plant. The resin for these has yet to be poured– these are in progress. They will begin… Continue reading time for new jewelry!
Hard-cover binding of the Moleskine Cahier sent to me in June; I used an ostrich pattern leather and handmade screenprinted paper, purchased years ago– finally put to use. So begins my journey into Art House Coop's Sketchbook Project, a collective project the contents of which will tour six American cities, then find a permanent home… Continue reading A record year for rainfall p.1

After a Mets game at Citi Field yesterday (they won!), Steve, Ben and I headed over to the Queens museum of Art to view the panorama of New York City, and just outside the museum resides the Unisphere,… Continue reading A respite from the heat of an August afternoon

When we came out of the subway station, we were delighted to see a most amazing and wonderful… Continue reading an afternoon in Coney

The discipline of making, of doing the work, every day, is not an easy one for… Continue reading drawing with black and white pencils
That is, the North Fork (of Long Island). Miscellaneous sketches from a weekend away, locally. Ben; the posse at delicious dinner table (it was a weekend of good foodie chefs in the house); and finally a random sketch began on Saturday evening, but finally finished this evening (at TWB in Exile's first meeting). None of… Continue reading a weekend on the upper tine
click to see full drawings... That last drawing I named 'Little My in later years." If you're familiar with the Moominvalley stories by the late, lovely Tove Jansson, Little My was a character thereincluded– always jovial, energetic. Actually, now I think about it, it should be the Mymble's Daughter; older sister to feisty Little My,… Continue reading kraft paper drawings
It was in a dream, and I was writing the names and routes of kids from the school in the district. I'd been placed for some reason in an office relating to the busing of schoolchildren. I'd begun by sorting and opening the mail, and realized too late that I'd opened an envelope for the… Continue reading As I recorded the relevent details I saw my writing grow increasingly larger and more ornate.
