After soaking in so much of the amazing New Zealand landscape and meeting so many interesting people on and off the road, I’m starting to paint again. Looking forward to being able to create something substantial from this new chapter of exploration.

Brookline-based children’s book publisher Pinwheel Books interviewed me for their website. Very kind of them to share my work and thoughts with their readers

Recent cover art for The Drabblecast- The Star, by Arthur C Clarke
…”I have seen that handiwork, and my faith is sorely troubled. I stare at the crucifix that hangs on the cabin wall above the Mark VI Computer, and for the first time in my life I wonder if it is no more than an empty symbol.”
Welcome Twenty Twelve. Let’s get this show on the road!

Yesterday I was able to get an almost full day at the Auckland Zoo. It’s been a while since I’ve been out sketching with the nib pens and ink brushes. So partly it was a day of cracking the rust off, and partly it was just a need to be in the company of animals again. As it turns out Kim’s mom works at the zoo. Thanks for the ticket Helen!
Auckland, you might like to know, has a terrific zoo. Well-maintained, clean, animals all looked well cared for, nothing in the facilities stood out as sketchy. Except of course, for me and my frantic scribbling. It’s always tricky drawing animals from life because you can’t help but aim to make portraits, yet they of course are always moving. The best you can do is let it be a warm up your hand & eyes with succinct, lively marks.
There were two birds that I had real interactive moments with. This parrot got right up to my face-level on the cage and repeatedly said “Hello.”
The sulpher crested cockatoo, Captain, has been at the zoo since ’91 has no cage and was very sweet and observant.

The Little Picture Company met with an enthusiastic turn out last week in London. I’m excited to have several of my pieces in their collection. Congratulations on a great show!
Captivated by this tree, found on the Muriwai Beach in New Zealand, standing so melancholy against the dense sky, windswept, and bare-boned. Just beautiful.
