OtherArtByJack: New York Studio School Graffiti (2015)
This is a 6×4 fine art print matted to 7×5 of graffiti street art near New York City’s West Village. In fact, the Studio School is on West 8th in New York City. I pen and inked and watercolored this sketch from a 1989 photo I took. My Etsy Shop, OtherArtByJack, will be opening any […]
OtherArtByJack: Uptown Doors and Standpipe (2016)
I love all the different doors I used to see during my walks in New York City. This is a print of a pen and ink sketch I did of the cityscape on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. There was a bright red standpipe sitting off to the side, which I just had to […]
Street Couches: Waiting for Ages (2023)
OtherArtbyJack: Building the Guggenheim Museum Addition (1989)
I painted this from my 1989 photo of the Guggenheim during the building of its addition, during a walk on Museum Mile in New York City. This is a 6×4″ print will be available (matted) on my soon-to-be-opened Etsy shop called OtherArtbyJack (tentative name).
AutismInfluencedArt: Abstract Double Portrait (2016)
This is one of many portraits I made of my brother Michael. It is a double portrait of Mike and me. I began two portraits with free-form curves and lines, inspired by Miró’s Constellation Series, a remarkable set of seemingly free-form works, filled with icons and fantastic creatures. I included ovals for two faces and the icons […]
AutismInspiredArt: Grief (2016)
Having a low functioning autistic brother unleashes all kinds of emotions not the least of which is frustration and grief for the possibility of meaningful two-way communication. This is an abstract portrait trying to make grief visible. A matted print of this watercolor is available at my Etsy shop: AutismInspiredArt.
AutismInspiredArt: Dream Image (2016)
This is a dream: a free form, autism inspired, abstract portrait that incorporates some features of my autistic brother. On a saturated color, yellow-to-orange gradient, the subject seems to be in repose and could be dreaming. This watercolor is available as a matted print on 140# acid-free paper, at my Etsy shop, AutismInspiredArt.
OtherArtbyJack: Doors in Gray (2016)
I forgot exactly where I encountered these doors during my strolls around Manhattan in the early 1990s. This is a pen and ink sketched washed with gray tones. I liked that the doors are set back from the stoop in the shadows. This will be one of the 4×6 prints available on my OtherArt shop […]
