100th post and two year anniversary of blog!

This entry marks two years and 100 posts since this blog started!

To celebrate, here's some sketches and watercolors from a visit to the zoo recently.

Kangaroo grazing, peacock sunning (or resting) and flamingoes.

Also, special guest photograph by Junko Rothwell --

Round creature from the zoo and more shows

I have some artwork being displayed at Kresge Auditorium (MIT) tomorrow, for one day. Stop by if you're in the area!

This Sunday March 7th, join me at the Marblehead Art Gallery opening of a show (where I will have some comics related work on display). The reception will run from 2pm-4pm.




And here's a sketch of a round creature I saw, some time ago.

Sketchcrawl and Zoo

Saturday Sketchcrawl with Dave M!

*Like a bar crawl, but people bring along sketchbooks and watercolors and draw whatever they see. In this case, the crawl started at the Middle East restaurant in Central and ended at Grendel's Den in Harvard Square.

** I don't think I've ever taken 7 hours to walk from Central to Harvard before.


Update! See more sketchcrawl info here!

I hope Franklin Zoo and Stone Zoo stay open.
