Moleskine Exhange
I made a pop-up house recently and now I can't stop. One mistake on my part was to assemble the last house before drawing on it. I also sort of like the envelope.

Joe Paterno
I am simply not a sports fan and I did not go to Penn State but I do understand that Joe Paterno is a legend. I have to know that because I live in Pennsylvania.
I put this drawing of Joe on t-shirts, sweatshirts and mugs over on Cafe Press. Here is the link:

For Today's The Day Harrisburg
For an article in Today's The Day Harrisburg on the next steps in the city of Harrisburg's journey through a financial crisis. I would write "a journey out of a financial crisis" but it seems that were not doing that yet. Here is the link to Today's The Day Harrisburg.

Church Sketchbook: Superman
The title of the current series of sermons at church is called "Near Sighted" or something like that. Other than the title this drawing has nothing to do with church.

Mayor Linda Thompson Wants In
Mayor Linda Thompson initially claimed that she would be part of the state board that is to run Harrisburg. She mentioned this just before state legislation was announced that would effectively remove her from the table.
For Today's The Day Harrisburg.

Glen Grell the Magician
Pennsylvania State Representative Glen Grell amends successfully amends Senate Bill 1151 to further remove the voting power of the people of Harrisburg. It is quite the conundrum- support Mr. Grell and take away the right to vote- the fundamental right- or simply sit back and watch the city of Harrisburg's current municipal leadership continue to do nothing about Harrisburg's financial debt.
Glenn For Nora
A second drawing for friends and their new baby Nora. This one is of the family's mastiff whose name is Glenn. The first is here.

Moleskin Exchange
I haven't posted any of these in a while but the gist of the moleskin exchange is this: 12 people from across the U.S. draw 4.5 images in a moleskin that they have purchased or stolen. They then mail it to the next person in the chain. The person that recieves it finishes the last drawing and then completes another 4.5 drawings. Over the course of a year or so, 12 books are filled up and finally returned to their owner. For you Harrisburgers, that is Mayor Linda Thompson reacting to the press. Sometimes, right after I wake up, I watch WHBG 20 and sketch.

Wave Like The Queen!
Our mayor in Harrisburg will, at times, literally wave like the queen. Here is the machine that will do this for you. This drawing is the slightly more refined version of this previous one. The image is for Today's The Day Harrisburg.
Mayor Linda Thompson In a Boat
During the great flood of 2011 Mayor Linda Thompson toured the areas most effected by the flood in a boat. Par for the course of her tenure she boggled the leadership responsibilities required of a mayor during perilous times.
