New Years Eve at McSorley's


I'm not even going to attempt getting into McSorely's tonight, I'm sure it's going to be packed tight. Have a great evening how ever you choose to spend it and I wish you all a happy new year.

Boxing Day


and these two gentlemen retreat to the pub to discuss their unbelievable good fortune. New socks and underwear abound and 2008 looks like being a winner.

And look what was waiting under the tree for me this morning, I swear Angie can read my mind sometimes.

Macky's Jolly Christmas


This is Matt, he's one of the many regulars at the Old Town Bar, I could tell you many tales about Matt but for a glimpse you should go to YouTube and search for Macky's Jolly Christmas. It's festive to say the least.

Oil Change


This is our car finally getting some TLC. Took it to a place on Bedford, those guys work quick. So did I. Not what you were expecting to see?

Three's A Crowd


As promised I found safe haven in a bar, no nudes here. The guy seen drinking the beer didn't like the guy in the white shirt, it was a very uneasy triad but enjoyable non the less.

Not a Bar


I wasn't in a bar last night and look what happened, tomorrow I'm going to a bar where I know I'll be safe

Silly Hats


These are subway drawings of which I have multiple filled sketchbooks, these I did yesterday on my way into the city. It's turned realy cold here but people in hats are fun to draw.

Bill's


Here is another look at my new favourite bar. This also represents a new direction with the work although I'm not quite sure of what that direction is. Ultimately I'm putting together a collection for a book and exhibition.

The Met


yesterday we went to the Klimt exhibit at the Neue to get inspired and then to the Met to do some drawing. We sat on the balcony and ordered a bottle of wine and got busy.

Tom has been drinking at the Old Town Bar since the eighties. Can't argue with that.

Dudes

Till


It's been a while since I covered this subject, I ought to give it another look in a different medium. Till we draw again.

Not Nude


Couldn't talk this one out of her clothes, I must be losing my touch.

Bill's


Lunch time trade at Bill's. The day time bar tender's name is Tom and he is as good as it gets, I'd draw him if he'd keep still. 54th st between Madison and Park, do yourself a favour

Nude


hopefully this drawing will take away some of those Monday blues. I like this one and I was getting a little bar heavy.

White Horse Tavern


This is another view of the White Horse Tavern from the dinning room at the end of the bar, you can see the door in the first drawing so I'm sat on the other side. All I'm thinking about when I see this is that the chap in the blue shirt with his back to us hasn't heard from his daughter in a while.

Drawing session


People can be more interesting than stuffed animals although this is often not the case.
