SF to NY


18th & Dolores, we had a good summer together.

Here are some Berkeley Figure Drawings from before I took off to NY:


Some strange contour doodling created from cafe boredom:
---- Here! Is where my NY post begins.----
I went to the Museum of Natural History in Manhattan the other day for some good quality time with taxidermy animals & extinct skeletons


I couldn't help but focus in on the interesting negative spaces...

Are all Lemurs this scary? Or were they just stuffed to be growling with nasty expressions? 
The gorilla was incredibly cute though!
Make way for the elephants!!!
I have been sketching non-stop since I returned to NY! I have a new sketch book I've started & my goal is to watercolor every page of it. They will be posted up when I get around to it. I finished a mole skin I've had floating around for quite some time, & I've been working on 2 other projects. The transition period was difficult at first, but a week in and I'm back to loving it! My first Italian class starts tonight at Cooper Union continuing education so wish me luck
Ciao!
