The last pages of the Four Year Journal

Seen at the American Museum of Natural History.

I need to go back soon to draw more dinosaurs.

Two copies of Parmigianino’s Antea. I'm a fan of Parmagianino and this was on view at the Frick Collection in 2008. I bought a postcard of it and made the drawings last year. I'm not working in this journal anymore, but photographing it and posting the images  took considerable time.

Friendship

Finally, I've come to the end of the pages of the Four Year Journal. 

Confessions of a Cucumber Mask

Confessions of a Cucumber Mask is part of the Four Year Journal. I don't have much of this journal left to post in the blog. That's a good thing because I have a lot of new work that wants to be part of the Interweave.

Hurricane Drawings

Because of Hurricane Sandy, I've had a good bit of time on my hands. I haven't been able to go to my job. So I'm working a lot in my journals. I spend a lot of time, in a normal day, travelling on the subway. Twice a week, I travel from Flushing Queens to South Jamaica Queens. Since I have a low threshold of boredom, I spend a lot of time drawing people that I see on the 

subway. I usually draw with pens and markers.  And when I have time, I add to and augment the drawings with ink, watercolor, gouache and a variety of other materials.

So since Sunday October 28, I've been adding to  journal pages. At a certain point on October 29, I lost electricity for two days and was drawing by flashlight and candle light.

Most of the people that I draw, I never see again. These folks, in particular, since I saw them in southern Queens, may have suffered some horrible things as a result of the hurricane. It's a big world out there.
