First Radio Headline Heard of the Day Drawing Project continues, but now it expands to Radio HeadlineS

First Radio HeadlineS Heard of the Day Drawing Project is still happening, I was going to stop but couldn't --had to continue documenting this scary turn in our governance.

Now I include at least two headlines, too much to choose just one.

Today was all New York.



Yesterday included the death of Chuck Berry, the drawing of him came from the photograph by Jack Vartoogian at Tramps in 1994. I was there.








Trump and Merkel (no handshake), Tillerson saber rattling in Asia.





This one includes a graph of the "Skinny budget" proposal that lifts defense spending by 54% and cuts anything of value by tremendous amounts (designed by Bloomberg News.)

First Radio Headline Heard of the Day Drawing Project continues

Greetings from the MacDowell Colony and Happy New Year.

I thought I was going to stop this project yesterday but instead it will continue. I didn't anticipate that theses drawings were gong to document this dramatic transition.

Stay tuned and again Happy New Year from snowy New Hampshire.

News of A Year on Broadway-in Austin Texas and in the book You Are Here: Mapping the Soul of New York by Katherine Harmon

Katherine Harmon's book You Are Here: Mapping the Soul of New York came out on November 1. Included are 3 long images from A Year on Broadway.




Below you can see the pages that include my work.
It is a lovely NYC book full of art from all sorts of artists whose subject matter was the physical/ geographical aspect of NYC.




And the exhibition A Year on Broadway opens today, at St. Edwards University in Austin, Texas.
I will be going there next week for the reception on November 11 from 6 to 8PM. The exhibition runs through December 12.

First Radio Headline Heard of the Day Drawing Project continues

It is Day168-6/16/16 and the First Radio Headline Heard of the Day Drawing Project continues.

Every morning I record the first radio headline I hear (generally on WNYC-unless I am traveling and then it on the local NPR or CBC radio station.)  I then trawl the Internet for videos and take screen shots from the videos. I draw/ paint with gouache and watercolors from looking at the captured images on my screen. They are all posted daily on Twitter at @drawitall
and on Instagram at @msdocumentrix or see the entire project on my website-updated daily


Here are some recent drawings. They are all between 5 and 7"on both sides.
