I found this storefront a long time ago during one of my walks when NYC was my home. It must have been just down the block from the Bar on Church and One Way, that I sketched earlier this year. This sketch poses a number of questions: What is in the bag in the open […]
This is one of my favorite photos. I took it one evening. I forget where I was going. I like the drama. I included the reference photo for the initial sketch of this series to show the mood I aspire to create in this series. Please visit my Etsy shop for my artwork for sale […]
There were (and perhaps still are) a number of bodegas in the NYC’s East Village. I took the photo from which this sketch was made thinking it was one of those quaint little grocery stores.

I have fond memories of this clock repair shop. It is (or was) right across from Bloomingdales on Lexington (I think, around 56th Street). I love clocks and bought several from the proprietor. He was a nice old man. My favorite purchase was a desktop clock with a scene from Holland. the windmill arms indicated […]
I was again plowing through my old photos in search of something interesting and came upon a photo of a gas station in Manhattan. The year was 1989. The gas price was 137.9. Those were the days. The mural was another surprise. I can’t wait to improvise on the colors (the photo was black and […]
