Last sketch of Pilsen, Chicago.
Making use of an empty lot, there's a man in the middle, camouflaged and reading a book in the morning sun.
More steel fire escapes.
Tried to capture everything here. I usually keep my field of vision natural, so this sketch bugs me a little because I'm showing more than my still eye would normally see
I'm having an exhibition opening in St Louis on Oct 7. The show will have St Louis sketches I did on my visit last year and new ones which I'll do in the run up for the show.
This is one of a series of sketches from a 2015 visit to Chicago. Most of the sketches are of alley ways in the Pilsen neighbourhood.
Here's a link to a post on the Urban Sketchers Blog about my Chicago trip:
I'm finally starting to upload my Chicago sketches from two years ago. All are from my Midwest road trip in 2015.
There's an Urban Sketchers Symposium coming up in Chicago, July 26-29, 2017. It's sold out! So all the best to those attending, wish I could be there. Have fun!
Here's a link to a submission I put in the Urban Sketchers blog. It shows all my Chicago sketches.
As requested, I'm showing progress pictures of this sketch. Here I've added the base colour. Next I'll start adding tone and shadows to show the light
Altered vintage commercial postcard for a swapbot swap. I've been loving using hands lately...and fish, of course!
More low key than the other Pilsen alley sketches, this one concentrates on the ordinary, bare brick backs, power lines, metal gates
Macro Mondays - Member’s Choice: Games or Game Pieces
This is a game I play with my 4yr old granddaughter - the game board from the back of a cereal box, a dice and 2 buttons. Eleni always has to use the heart shaped button.
The title is not mine, I found out that this is the ironic name given to this carpark ramp by the St. Louis locals. Pretty apt name, it does have a very dynamic contrasting form to the dense block forms of the city, very similar to the famous Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The irony is that this St. Louis structure is only a carpark on a prominent downtown corner, a destroyer of urbanity!
I wanted to have a good look at these Lake Shore Drive apartments. They were designed by architect Mies van der Rohe in 1948 but I found myself on the wrong side of road with no possibility to get across. I rarely sketch particular works of architecture. I just want to walk around and enjoy them, study the details and absorb their spatial qualities. In this instance I couldn't do that but did see an opportunity for a sketch that showed these seminal modernist buildings in the real urban context.
cereal box back from the 1930's (at least, that's the info i have . . if anyone knows more about this, please let me know) Classic example of the old two-face bit. Cover half the face at a time and you get the full effect. •••••UPDATE: I now believe this to be early 1950's rather than the 1930's
My latest gig poster for The Melvins' show at Postbahnhof, Berlin on June 13 2016.

Limited edition of 110

All my gig posters are official merchandise and always approved by the band.
For years, the image of an African-American chef appeared on Cream of Wheat packaging and in ads, reminding some consumers of earlier depictions they find offensive. The smiling Black man in a white uniform worn by chefs had not changed much since his debut in the late 19th century. The character was named “Rastus,” a pejorative term for Black men.
The Black chef will no longer appear on Cream of Wheat packaging where he was the face of the brand for more than a century, the product’s parent company announced in a decision that came three months after it vowed to re-evaluate its marketing to ensure it did not “inadvertently contribute to systemic racism.”
The hot cereal joins Aunt Jemima, Eskimo Pie and other products that have shifted brand names and images amid calls for racial justice.

Leyendecker created a series of twenty children enjoying bowls of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes as part of a major advertising campaign in 1915-1917.

Created for a desk clean-up rainbow swap on swap-bot. This doesn't even come close to cleaning up my desk....magazine bits, wallpaper, vintage postage stamps, scrapbook paper, food packaging, washi tape, security envelope
First introduced in 1932, the characters Snap, Crackle and Pop turn 90 this year. As they say in this 1949 ad "Mother knows Kellogg's best!"
Created for a swapbot swap. For this monochrome swap I just used a whole pile of vintage used postage.
Fred and Barney are out camping and find their fresh dinosaur eggs are a bit too fresh.
Got this poster out of a box of Fruity Pebbles cereal about April 1979. It was on my bedroom wall for years. Upper-left corner is missing but it's otherwise held up well. My dad used to take me on camping trips and I remember showing this to him and he got a chuckle.
i finally picked up a couple (& I have an extra cereal bowl) of these. I just love the raisin bran in the box & the bowl, but I thought the milk in the bowl looked too flat, so I added a little varnish to give it some shine. I can't figure out if each set is for two people, or one really hungry person.
