• BICYCLES is PEOPLE!

  

  As are chairs: But, back to bicycles, and the title of this. Boomers will remember an old movie titled “Soylent Green “. Long story short, in a dystopian world, people are given something to eat, called Soylent Green. As it turns out, its made of recycled human remains. Thus, the cry “Soylent Green is People!” […]

• Yay for me!

  

  Cycles This is so exciting to me. A real vote of confidence, and a real shot in the arm. Of course, since now I am working small, I thought I’d show the small drawing that this is derived from. I’m proud of them both. Just to let you know, I was planning to use this […]

• Found it!

  

  THIS was the picture of the Jungle Jim I was looking for! Actually drew it many, many many years ago.  As a more mature person with a more mature eye, I see a lot wrong with it.  Happily, I also see a lot good with it.  Maybe I’ll do a redo, when I have time.  […]

• Forsooth, forsythia!

  

  I’ve lamented and moaned on how fast spring passes.  You’re probably sick of it, I’m sick of it, but I’m going to do it again.  Why?  Because it’s another spring, and by the time I draw the daffodils, the tulips are gone. Damn. So this spring, I’m going to get away from my usual MO, […]

• OMG….Everything is weeping!

  Just noticed as I was finishing this, that I put in a weeping willow, a weeping pine, and made it a rainy day. Hmmn, the unconsious mind works in strange ways. Maybe sadness about the plight of those who live with MS? Maybe. Anyway, here’s the finish to “MS Bike Ride”. I changed the composition […]

• Changing direction

  I didn’t work on the MS bicycle ride for a while. I started to add the background, and put in a weeping willow. It made the whole thing look kitschy and awful. I tried to erase it, but it was too firmly drawn, that I couldn’t do it. I got very discouraged. But then, the […]

• Back on Course

  Started the redo of the MS bike ride, and I’m pleased with it. To get the asphalt right, it took long tedious work. Thank God for the invention of the iPod, otherwise, sitting, making miniscule pencil strokes over and over would have made me start raving….well, raving. For those of you who are artists, just […]

• Okay, eraser crumbs and all

  I tend to include diversity of people in my work. I guess that’s because I live in the most diverse county in the country, Queens, NY. That’s my world. So I was a little surprised when looking for copy for this drawing…all the bike riders I found were white! I discussed this with my contact, […]

• Gotta begin somewhere

  I’m doing work on the MS bike ride drawing. I’ve done a very, very, rough sketch. I’ve sent it to my contact for his opinion. Here it is, remember, it’s very rough.
