    ARTrovert — Introvert

    If you know me, you know I’m an introvert. But if you didn’t know that, don’t worry — my own brother recently seemed surprised that I thus classify myself. Often people have expressed wonderment that I have not sold more work, or am not yet a highly-paid artistic director or corporate officer. Some show kind…

    Redbubba-liscious … Studio Zandra now on Redbubble!

    “Those aren’t PILLOWS!” Well, actually, yes, they are pillows — fresh off the stylus. Why do Japanese love koi so much? I think it’s because they are soothing and relaxing to watch swimming around in a little cultivated garden pond. Certainly all right to have some on your couch or bed. I slaved over a…

    NYC’s spring flowers barge into my sketchpad!

    I haven’t drawn flowers for about a decade, and that was a single three-foot wide tulip. Where these latest ones came from, I can only guess.  I think it’s the spring flowers everywhere — they kind of demand one’s attention, bursting out between concrete slabs, clawing their way over chain link fences, getting in in…

    The only activity I ever enjoyed more than drawing…

    …was reading, back when library cards were blue cardboard squares. It took me on quite a long detour in life, as instead of continuing fine art after LaGuardia HS, I ended up majoring in English. The third page of my newest pad of paper was devoted to words, and the word “word”. Literally, kotoba, in…

  • Drawing — Pen on Claybord

    Drawing — Pen on Claybord

    Last week I finished my drawing called “Futari”. I drew on two 5 x 7 inch Clayboards, using pencil and Sakura fine point pens. As it will soon be two years since I got hitched, I wanted to play with the concept of marriage. Trying to capture the strangeness of being married; there is some…
