More Europe Sketches

Wow this has been a really busy couple of weeks. I have finally gotten myself moved into a new studio space this past week. It is a really cool space that I'm sharing with my two good friends Dave Gordon and Ellie Walsh. It is a short walk from my apartment and right next to one of my favorite buildings in all of New york, the Flatiron. I have also just started going to finish on the illustrations for one my children's books. I'm very excited to share some of those images with everybody out there, as soon as I am able to.

In the meantime, here are some more pages out of my europe sketchbook. These are from the same trip as the previous sketchbook post, however these were done when I was in Portugal.

Old Portuguese

This was one of a number of sketches I did on this trip from memory of people I crossed paths with. This man was always hanging out by our hotel, cigarette in mouth, watching people walk by. He had a great face. I wish I had my oil paints with me, because I would have loved to have painted him. His face was so wrinkled and weather beaten.

Praia da Mira

While spending time in Praia da Mira, I had horrible case of food poisoning. I remember very little about these dark times, except for the part of me lying in my hotel room in the fetal position, waiting to die. Luckily on my last day there I felt good enough to sit outside on the beach and make this drawing.
