Brunch time sketchin'

We were lucky enough to attend M. Wells' "pop-up" brunch served at Manducatis Rustica in Long Island City this past Saturday. To our surprise, it turned out to be an 8 (or 9?) course meal! 

Mafia Wars Shakedown

Here are some paintings that I did for the game "Mafia Wars Shakedown" which was released in November 2011.

Next stop: Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all safe and happy holidays and best wishes in the New Year!

Camera, Mask, Toy, Flask 

Still life of a Revere Eight Model 77 movie camera that I got at an antique store in Beacon New York, a mask from the play, Sleep No More, a toy from Kid Robot, and a gas tank flask.

Occupy Wall St.

Recently, I went to Zuccotti Park in the Financial District of New York City where the Occupy Wall Street protests are being held. It was the day before Halloween so some people were in costume, and others, not at all. There was also a drum circle with b-boys and b-girls gettin it in. Basically, there was a lot of character.

Overall, it was a lot calmer and more organized than I thought it'd be after seeing its portrayal on TV, in the newspapers, and online. There's definitely a difference between viewing it and actually being in the environment...

We all have one...

That one relative that you were/are scared of...

For E.

 

I found out sad news last week that one of my friends from years back passed away. E, the gentle giant/mean-lookin' teddy bear. You're the first person ever that put me on to the Roots and Erykah Badu's "You Got Me." I regret that our paths never crossed all these years, but I'm glad to have known you. You'll be missed.
