The warm glow of Char No. 4, affectionately known (by me) as "Pork and Bourbon" Day One Ben's birthday was Saturday. As he'd been under the weather much of the week, we'd made no plans, but Saturday began warm and balmy, and he was feeling much better, so we decided to embark on a wander.… Continue reading Two days of wandering, eating, drinking
Left to Right: Amelia, who sang solo; Gerard of Dolly Trolly; and Chris. In lieu of Drink 'n' Draw this Wednesday, I did some rock 'n' draw at the Dolly Trolly show last night– glad I brought my markers! Dolly Trolly rocked it out at a fundraiser, as part of their effort on Kickstarter,com. They… Continue reading Dolly Trolly and the Case of the Crispy Dollars
some thirty-second and one minute long poses Last night Kim and I went to the 3rd Ward figure drawing session (with cans of Colt 45 and styrofoam-inspired snacks, such as cheeze doodles™ and munchos™). I haven't done figure drawing since I was at Pratt, so it was long overdue. It's all proper, beginning with 30… Continue reading Drink n’ Draw
a tease, again– bit o' the map for calendar 2010. Remind me to tell you about it the day of wandering and feeling 'away' in Long Island City– map scanned, pub lunch, PS1 and the pool installation... Also– I will post photos from the Rochester trip soon as well as some from the Delaware Water… Continue reading Long Island City Day
Ben zooming through a parking lot We rode out bikes to the Fulton Ferry landing yesterday with the plan of catching one of the free ferries going to Governors Island for City of Water Day, but upon arriving found a line over an hour long (as only 15 bikes were being allowed per trip, and… Continue reading an excursion diverted
On the fourth of July, Ben and I took to the bike lanes and headed toward Williamsburg with no specific plans. We landed at the delightful Radegast (above) for a spell. Following, we zoomed back to Classon Ave for an impromptu (delicious) bbq. Later still to another bbq– where we managed to spy a few… Continue reading We rode our bikes around Brooklyn
The flora around the city has gone mad with delight from the abundant rains we've had– the streets lush and green. A bike ride yesterday into Ditmas Park, and the plane trees looming well above the rooflines in some streets– cathedral ceilings of shade and flickering leaflight. Last night a piano party at a friend's… Continue reading roses and brownstones
Some interior shots of the beautiful and expertly tiled Weather Up, on Vanderbilt Ave in Brooklyn. Ben and I stopped in on Saturday evening, having not been back since last May when my dad was in town. Ben ordered one of their specialty cocktails and they go for the true mixologist flair. Very nice. We… Continue reading images from the weekend
Yesterday went to the small park-outside-the-park where the neptune fountain is; shot some footage of the water ripples and snapped a few of the man himself. Laughing, maniacal; trident-wielder in the spray. I think I'm coming down with the same under-the-weather/cold that ruined Ben's weekend. Just in time for the ramping-up of this project, too.… Continue reading waiting on a render…
