Rats

These are the rat sculptures that are on the Lexington Ave. side of Grand Central Terminal. I believe it's a reference to the tie-lines from sailing ships when they are docked. I think they had cone shaped pieces on the ropes to keep rats from crawling up and onto the boat.

Put In Bay

Ok, a few more pages from my family vacation. This page was made while I was flying to Michigan from NYC.

A page made during the drive from Ann Arbor to South Bass Island. (don't worry, I wasn't driving). Yes, that does say "The Three That Set Us Free - God, Guts, Guns" and yes it was in the back window of a pickup truck somewhere just east of Toledo.

Here is an attempt at a watercolor of a sunset. The brush was super small and I had trouble getting enough water down on the page. Also, I don't know what I'm doing. Maybe one of those watercolor waterbrushes would help

WATERCOLOR

Finally a new post. I'm feeling sick so sorry about the lack of explanation but I feel like crap.

Polaroid Land Camera

Here is my Polaroid plastic Land Camera first outlined in finepoint Sharpie and then filled in with Caran d'Ache watercolor pencils. I enjoyed working with watercolor again but found the brush that came with the set to be somewhat difficult to work with. Also the Moleskin book I was using does not seem to accept water very quickly so it take too long for the color to dry. I would like to experiment with some proper water color paper sometime soon.
