ALDRICH UNDERCOVER donation
This drawing is for the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum's 2010 ALDRICH UNDERCOVER event for Friday, Nov. 19, 2010. It's a "secret art sale" (though not super duper secret if you're reading this post) at the Ridgefield, CT museum by artists who have shown in exhibitions there in the past. We are all asked for a drawing for the sale. I wish I could attend.
5th Birthday Treasure Hunt
For Fritz's 5th birthday party, I handed out empty goodie bags and a treasure map. The kids then followed the map to find four buried treasures in the park which filled their bags. I had a bunch of 19th century deeds from London (several "pages" each) made of real vellum (sheepskin) that I drew it on. It has this nice crinkliness when rolled and unrolled.

Another Color Pencil Test
I think I need to get some more pencils - I'm getting a kind of sick of this palette. I'm not able to get to the studio much these days - so I'm taking some crash sketchbooks and experimenting with ways to add color at home. (A new record! Eight references to myself in this short post - including these 2 uses of the word 'myself').

NPR's Weekend Edition story on The Clock
NPR ran a cute story on Weekend Edition this morning about the book and a young sleuth who found one of the treasures. Listen at link below.

Critic's Pick for TimeOut NY
TimeOut NY chose my show as a 'critic's pick - best in drawing' this week! It's funny that it's next to PS.1's Greater New York. I was in the first one of those 10+ years ago.
