Tokyo

No, I've never been to Tokyo, it's just a sketch for a job I'm working on. Yes, I'd like to go to Tokyo.

The Cricketers

Another drawing from my recent trip back to the UK, great pint to be had in this place.

The Artichoke

I was back in the UK for a while visiting the folks, had many a pint in here with my parents, I've got many drawings to share, I just have to get back in to the habit of daily blogging, bare with me.

Weehawken

I created this painting to raise money for a school in Weehawken, its an updated version of an Edward Hopper painting of the same street, Hopper's was done in 1939 and was sold at auction recently for $40,000,000, mine was auctioned on Ebay for considerably less, the lady in the newspaper photo who lives in the large white house bought my painting which was very cool, she is sandwiched between both mine and Hopper's version.

The Mars Bar

This is the Mars Bar, sadly gone from the Lower East Side and very much missed, when it comes to dive bars, this one was a man amongst boys.

Paris Street Scene

Happy New Year everybody, ok it's been a long while again since I posted. I make no promises about daily posting but I have lots of new pieces to share, both drawings and paintings. Once again best wishes for the new year and thanks for continuing to stop by even when you haven't seen anything new for a while.
Also, this is a painting I made form a bunch of photos I took on a recent trip to Paris, I'd never seen like quite like this.

Crown Heights

I hope this grand old building doesn't get demolished and some one with vision, (and money) revives it.

Frenchtown

My friends brought this house in Frenchtown and have given it a great deal of TLC over the last few years. Pretty house, hopefully a pretty drawing.

Little Zelda

A very cool coffee shop.

The Crown Inn

This is my favorite Crown Heights Bar, a home form home.

Catfish

This place is a must if you are in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, good people good food good beer.

Chavela's

Perhaps the best Mexican restaurant in Brooklyn.

Dutch Boy Burger

I'm starting to draw my way down and around Franklin Ave in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Dutch Boy Burger is attached to Franklin Park, one of my favorite bars which means you get a a great pint of Smuttynose IPA and a brilliant burger to go with it. Life is good.

Dominican Republic

Crazy color in the DR, lots of street life.

Dominican Republic

This was a rapid fire sketch from the DR, sketching in extreme heat amid the hustle and bustle.

Barber Shop

I met up with fellow sketch bloggers in Brooklyn to draw this old barber shop. It's put me in the mood for more sketching which I'm very excited about,

The City Arms Inn is another of my favorite Canterbury bars. It's in a 15th century building and the pub has been around for over 300 years. The two lads outside asked me to put them in the drawing, James and Terry Gallacher, all the way from bonnie Scotland.

Cricketers

This is my favorite pub in Canterbury, The Cricketers, I don't like cricket, boring game played by people who weren't good at football, but the pub is wonderful and those lucky enough to get to Canterbury should pop in for a pint.

The View for the Malt Shovel

The Malt Shovel is a great old bar in Edinburgh, I was sat out side with a pint when I drew this view facing up Cockburn street, I think that's right anyway.

Paris

The last one in this series but my favorite drawing of the bunch.
