Sketchbook Update

I've been playing around with some apps on my iPhone to try to give my sketchbook images some character. I'm hugely inspired by any and all things vintage, and I love the old-time feel these drawing get with the help of Instagram. 

Life Drawing Series: Part 2

Sketch night at Society of Illustrators in NYC keeps getting better and better. This week, the jazz band played selections from my favorite duo: Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto. Might be why these turned out half-way descent. What's yall's favorite albums to listen to while getting in the art groove? I've noticed extreme productivity at work to the following albums:

1. Sergio Mendes

2. George Winston

3. Gypsy Kings

Also anything by Pogo

Life Drawing at The Society of Illustrators

My buddy Chris Martinetti and I have started a new tradition on Thursday evenings where we go to the life drawing session at the Society of Illustrators and afterwards enjoy a filling meal at Chipotle. The society really creates a warm and fun environment for sketching. Every week features a new music group, a selection of tasty drinks at the bar, and a variety of nude and clothed models to thoroughly exercise all of one’s observational drawing muscles. Above are a few of  last months spoils. It’s been almost a year and a half since I last attended life drawing. It feels great to get back into it. Chris and I are trying to come up with a catchy title for the evening. So far all we’ve come up with is Boobs, Booze, and Burritos but in spite of it’s nice alliteration, it still has a third grade tone to it. Anyone else want to give it a try?
