I must confess that I didn't take any pictures while in NYC which is regrettable, but I did do some sketches!

It was such a great time! It was nice catching up with T-less friends and getting to meet andyG. I've been to NYC before, but I never saw it the way Andy showed it. So much cool stuff I didn't even know existed.

Here's the first sketch. just random musings whilst riding the train.


This one shows the first level of the bunny apartment.


Occasionally I would get up early and do my own little sketch tours of the city. The left side is from one of these. It was freezin cold though, so my hands were killing me and my watercolors kept freezing on the paper.


This one is stuff from the library and Rockefeller center. It was done really quickly so it's nothing great. I was drawing while we walked and therefore almost fell down the steps, but thank goodness phil kept warning me.


This one is animals from the central park zoo, as well as our good friend sir tenderloin.


This one is near cooper student union on an early morning drawing session.


This one is from the same morning. The kitchen in the bunny place was beautiful. The space was so small, and so simple.


Once we finally woke up we went to this spanish brunch. That was the best meal of the whole trip.


This drawing was fun to do. It was at this bar that looked like a pirate's hangout or something. They had skulls above the bar, huge vaulted ceilings, broken yellow orange lanterns, and tilework everywhere. The drawing throws out the majority of perspective and just kind of follows my line of sight. I used candle wax to mask out the white.


This record store had cats sitting everywhere. This one plumped himself down right on the CD displays. Cupcakes at Magnolia Bakery were AWESOME!!


This was definitely one of the coolest places I've ever seen. It was established in 1854. Lincoln sat at the bar once, and hanging on the wall is all kinds of historical items, even a newspaper announcing lincoln's death. The artwork was done using a mix of watercolor, beer, and salt.



A lantern from Saigon grill, and lights from Bowlmor.


My last sketch, and the one that almost made me late for my train. Subway station at 34th and broadway.
