More Hurricane Images

Today I was inspired by images of the disaster debris that Hurricane Sandy left behind. A place I remember from childhood is Atlantic City, New Jersey, one of the hardest hit areas. I decided to call this drawing "Boardwalk."

Window Drawing

This is a quick sketch from the window ledge in my hotel room in Philadelphia while I ride out Hurricane Sandy. It's all done in pen from the start.

The Road to Philadephia

I drove from Cleveland to Philadelphia tonight. Philadelphia is in dead center of Hurricane Sandy's predicted landfall tomorrow. I encountered rain, rain, fog, and more rain. And four tunnels. This is the drawing I came up with when I got to my hotel, I'm calling it "Pennsylvania Turnpike":

The Last Leaf

I drew this in the car today on the way to dinner with friends. It's that time of year when half the trees are bare and the other half are almost bare. It's a line drawing in which I only took the pen off the paper twice for the tree part (even though the car was bouncing around).

I've called it "The Last Leaf" (because there has to be one, right?)

Streaming Consciousness

Today's drawing. It started as a simple outline drawing. I don't know exactly what I was thinking about when I drew it but there were a few significant moments in my day that probably figured in. I found out that I may never know exactly what happened on the bike to trigger the extreme pain that led to my dropping out of Ironman Kona - my doctor is now checking my blood for clues. I also found out that the only people who seem to matter are the really good athletes, which I am not.

Shoe Gazing at the Shins Gig

Yep, drew this on my phone using Drawcast app between sets - before The Shins came on stage.

Today's Drawing: The Errant Strand

The title of this post (and the ensuing artwork) comes from a Twitter update during the third Presidential debate. I had become fixated on a strand of Mitt Romney's hair that was apparently doing its own thing on Mitt's forehead that evening. Note that Barack Obama's hair stayed in place, but many tweeters also found time to comment on a different factor - how gray it was. It all seemed so superficial.
