Flocking to the Pump: New Mini Drawings
Since January, I’ve been working on a new series of works called Flocking to the Pump. You can see the main works in the series in this earlier post, All of This Happened, More or Less. Four of them are currently on display in the 17th Annual No Dead Artists Juried Exhibition at Jonathan Ferrara Gallery in New […]
Recent Collaborations: Working on Working Together
It’s been a long time since I have contributed to this blog aside from snarky comments for Hannah as she diligently keeps up with posting. Hannah says that’s OK because I’m busy ’cause I have a job; I say that’s me being lazy and handing the reigns over to my social media director (her). I’m […]
Recent Portrait Commissions: From Sketch to Completion
Well, folks, I’m still in immigration limbo. I’m supposed to be teaching over in the U.A.E. already, but there is some kind of hold up. I don’t know what. I’m still waiting to hear, as are my colleagues over there. So far as I know, I’m still going. I just don’t know when. In the […]

Part III of 939 Drawings: Charles Beneke, You Asked for It
So, since I started this project, a few of you have decided to change up your profile pictures and/or make requests. You know who you are, Charles Beneke–Cedric Jones-Charlotte Eisel. And, Tim Dooley, I don’t even know what to say about your new pic. Wow. Ahem. So this one is for you, Charles Beneke. First […]
Weekend Travel Journal: From Ohio to Detroit
I finally gave in and decided not to force myself to carry around the beautiful, but gigantic pretentious sketchbook I’ve been working in as of late. I’m still drawing in it at home, but it’s too much to lug around all the time. I have, instead, opted for a small folio Blake constructed in the […]
