Stokes Millwork

From the series of drawings done on location in midtown Harrisburg. Stokes Millwork is no longer operating so added a little life to the drawing.

Yellow Wall Gallery Show

Drawing Midtown

My friend Jonathan Bean and I have been spending a good amount of time drawing in midtown Harrisburg for our show that is opening at the Yellow Wall Gallery tomorrow evening in Harrisburg.

Free refills at Nacho Hippo.

Party with strange strangers.

State Senate Candidate Rob Teplitz

Rob Teplitz is the Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania's 15th Senatorial District. HERE is his website.

Voter ID Rally

This rally was actually about voting for Obama and thinly disguised with some nonselse about the violation of rights. A rally over ID would have made sense before the law was enacted but that didn't happen. The issue is already being addressed in federal court. In reality this rally was just an Obama rally. The dishonesty if awesome.

Ear Dr. Waiting Room

Harrisburg Receiver William Lynch

Former USAF General and current state appointed receiver for the city of Harrisburg, Pa, William Lynch dropping an Earned Income Tax bomb. He is currently attempting to force an increase in the earned income tax which, by many accounts, he could have waited to implement.

Broad St. Market

A short walk from my home is the Broad St. Market here in Harrisburg, Pa. The Broad St. Market is the oldest continuously operated market house in the U.S.

Missy's Card

I know that most heads don't turn that far, really I do.

Water for the World

These three illustrations are for a Water for the World booklet and replace photographs of the same subjects. Water for the World is tackling water supply issues as well as sanitary issues and helping those with physical disabilities have better access to both.

Sketches From Maine

Caulker's Shed, Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine. When I draw buildings I usually get done and remember why I don't draw buildings.

Another reason not to like lobster. I really don't like seafood that crawls around on the ocean floor. I also hate banana-strawberry yogurt but not for the same reason.

This is a true story. Steph and were sitting in a park drawing (she was reading) and this man became annoyed with two little girls, that he was not with, because they did not say his dog was cute after they said another nearby dog was cute. I think that he was overreacting.

These are a few of the sketches that I completed this last week while visiting Maine. I love that place.
