New York City

So, regardless of not having a scanner, I wanted to post up some of my recent sketchbook doodles. I just got back from a trip to NYC, and had a great time. I've been to the city before, and it seems like there's never nearly enough time to check out half of what I'd like to see. I still had a great time though. I saw some sights, shopped some, met some talented artists, and squeezed in a bit of time to draw and paint whenever I got the chance. I already miss it. Toronto's subways don't have nearly as much character! Hopefully i'll be back sooner rather than later.





Conveniently I got home just in time to check out the artwork of Deanna Marsigliese, and meet her as well, at the opening of her show at the Labyrinth bookstore. Check out the store while her work is up, if you get the chance. Her book is great, but of course the art looks so much better in person.

Edit: got rid of the photos, updated with scans!

The cityscape one is still my favourite. It looks like it's from some awesome colouring book! I'm dying to take some marker and watercolour to it...
I'll try and have my NYC journal pictures up soon. :)

thanks for the comments guys! very encouraging. since i've done these i've been too busy to go out and paint from life again, but doing these got me excited about doing some more.. so soon as the workload lifts a little, i should be able to get out and make some new ones.

lesley - if you want to paint it, i'll let you ;)

casper - thanks dude. it's intense. i'm intimidated. hah.

san - Weird, i didn't get it. I got your email address from Jamie though, so i'll drop you a note sometime soon.

Thanks again guys.
