Art show at the Somers Library (Somers, NY)

(Click to enlarge)

I will be showcasing all of my art for the first time at the Somers Library all throughout the month of February. There will be a reception held on Saturday, Febraury 16th. If you live in the Westchester, NY area, I hope to see you there!

On a sad note, Etch-a-Sketch inventor André Cassagnes has passed away at the age of 86. He invented the toy in France in the late '50s. He lived a nice, long life of inventing and working with fun things. Without his work, I'd likely never have delved as deep into the art world. I can paint and draw, but the joy and excitement people get from seeing my work on the Etch-a-Sketch inspires me to go in that direction. I can't imagine having gone the normal route. Here is an article about his passing. Thanks for checking out my Etch A Sketch art! Visit again soon for something new or check out my other pages online for things that might not appear here...

The Toy Chest in Ridgefield, CT

(Click to enlarge)

Sketched this for Ann, the owner of this small toy shop in downtown Ridgefield, Connecticut. It's an old fashioned place in an old fashioned part of town, which I think makes for a nice etch.

Facebook Follower Upgraded Etch

(Click to enlarge)

A while back, on facebook, I did some 5-minute practice speed-etchings of people who sent me a picture. I noticed one floating around recently, still used as a profile image. I'm really glad to see the quick work being enjoyed, but I think Joe Gleason deserves a better one and not a rushed effort. Here's an upgraded etch for Joe!

If you want to maybe get etched sometime, follow me on facebook.

Times Square (work in progress)

(Click to enlarge)

I've been working on times square for half a year. I had to erase my first version after posting an earlier work in progress because I needed an etch and didn't have access to any others, so it was erased. I tried a second time and the spacing isn't right, I still have it, but I started again. I wasn't ever happy with how it was turning out, so I shook it and started again. This here is my forth attempt over the better part of the last year. Hope to finish soon... Thanks for checking out my Etch A Sketch art!

A couple Wilburys, George Harrison and Roy Orbison

George Harrison

I bought the Martin Scorsese documentary dvd about George Harrison, which was fantastic of course, so I thought etching the cover would make for a fun sketch.

Roy Orbison

Roy Orbison is one of my all time favorites. Here he is on top of a copy of his video anthology DVD, which rules. Thanks for checking out my Etch A Sketch art! Visit again soon for something new or check out my other pages online for things that might not appear here...
