ny trip :: the words

well, i got back from the big apple last week. i'm super behind in my classes and the film project, but hopefully i will be able to take all the inspiration from new york and incorporate it into my work; i've gotta buckle down like none other now and crank out drawings like crazy. just wanted to record what we did~

we visited....

these artists:
kinuko craft, burt silverman, paul zelinsky, brett helquist, and brad holland.

these museums:
norman rockwell museum
the frick collection (my favorite!)
the metropolitan museum of art
the museum of american illustration (at SI, along with the other galleries there)

and these other Awesomes:
abrams books (publisher)
richard solomon (agent)
society of illustrators

for me...
it was fun to visit new york again, where i spent 6 weeks of this past summer interning for brett helquist and the society of illustrators. my old stompin' grounds! also, check this out: we made it to richard solomon's blog! i'm most definitely in the first picture. my expression isn't one of boredom; it's probably one of pain from sitting on the heater for over an hour.

and because a post isn't complete without art, here's just my first sketchbook page of stuff from the trip.

    You know, I can't help but marvel at how absolutely talented you are! You's amazing miss! I hope you know that! and I'm so glad you have developed your talents because I know your work has brightened my day more than once. So even though I know you've gone through a lot of long HARD hours/days/months/years to develop it I want to say thank you for not hiding your light under a bushel. :]

    I want to make a second enthusiastic comment/reaction! :) I gave a talk on inspiration last Sunday and I totally thought of all the parrallels with Art. Nueva York would be an amazing Inspiration! Let it carry you through your projects and I love your style. It is continually evolving and changing. I am so excited for you.

    i like the method of summarizing the trip with putting up the links to the people and places and awesomes that you saw and visited and experienced.

    and i like the picture of you at mr. solomon's office... :)

    Can I just tell you that I am almost in tears I missed being able to go on that trip with y'all? I wish I had been there. Kinuko Craft is one of my all-time favorites... I kept telling Bethanne how much I wanted to see her. You must call and tell me all about it.
