IF – “Brave”

I automatically think of lions when I hear the word brave, and that lead me to draw this:Lionweb

But it also made me to wonder why lions are a symbol of bravery. The answer is actually hard to find! The only answer I found is that lions are a strong, majestic animal on top of the food chain, and this is why they are considered “brave.” Seems like the zebras and other beasts they hunt are the brave ones…hmmm maybe I should rethink this one all together!

IF – “Clumsy”

I have been busy lately and haven’t been able to play Illustration Friday in a while…but finally got to it this week!   Here is a quick one of my idea of clumsy, or what could potentially result in some clumsiness…

New Landscape Paintings

It has been a busy few months for me! Working on a children’s book project, as well as starting a new series of landscape triptychs. Here is the first one I did…of the corner of First Ave and 10th St in NYC, my old block.

Macy’s Parade

Reminiscing about going to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as a kid, and how the balloons used to really scare me…the seem HUGE when you are just a little kid! Especially if they are carrying weapons…
