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.
