203. A Week in New York and Around
drawings and pictures from meetups.
Dear reader,
The summer break continues. This week, after visiting in-laws and extended family in New York, I am at the Poconos, looking at the trees and a family of deer that pass by our holiday rental every morning and again at dusk. Yesterday, I saw some kids chase after the deer barefoot through the woods, their phones held out in front of them. Today, we were on a pontoon going round and round Boulder Lake.
The SneakyArt Post is
a publication about secretly drawn art of the world. Every week, I share my latest drawings and the best ideas from my journey of self-education to be an artist and writer.on summer break.
If you like getting Sneaky Art in your inbox, help me reach more people who might like this too.
I missed this Sunday’s post, Insiders. Sorry. It has been a crazy week. I will make up for it!
Here are the things that happened this week in New York and around.
At Cafe Maman, I ordered an iced watermelon matcha drink and met with Samantha Dion Baker. We drew each other!
The next day, I met with Caroline Cala Donofrio and Jillian Hess at Caffe Reggio. This is my 60-second, single-line, blind contour drawing of them.
I hung out with Steinbergdrawscartoons. He told me about drawing comics for the New Yorker, and I told him why I stopped drawing comics. This is my single-line drawing of him drawing me. Read his post about our meetup.
At the Poconos, I looked at a nice root of a nice tree that offered me nice shade. I drew with a Kita-Boshi 10B pencil, a gift from Samantha. It is fun, but maybe I should sharpen it?
The summer break is almost over. It has been good. Regular writing resumes next week!
