It's been a while...

I haven't done a very good job of keeping up the blog. I just have too many websites going and too little time but I will try this again (no promises).

We will start with my assignment for my NY session with the University of Hartford. Above is the inspiration for my piece, a store window at Bergdorf Goodman's on 5th Avenue - cute kids (I have no idea who they are). I have some ideas about how I am going to construct this illustration...I'll post the results...maybe.
