Studio 1482 has had great success with our One Drawing A Day book based on our daily blog so I was excited when Veronica asked me to contribute to the third volume of an Urban Sketchers reportage series she was working on for Quarry. Last year, long after turning in the work she requested and after I had nearly forgotten about the book […]

A while back in the midst of The Neighbor titles I had a chance to work on a small project for a drone pilot out in LA. Wolfgang Weber is an actor and aerial cinematographer who has been growing is business and wanted a bumper for the end of his video reel. We kept it mostly abstract and […]

Taking stock of all that happened last year, one project refilled the well with the unexpected. On the heals of the Mystic show I jumped at the chance to return to one of my formative creative passions and see if it still caused the same sparks it always had.

With just two days left until the Dalvero Academy Journey of Transformation show ends its run at Mystic Seaport I am trying to get the last three posts up. One post a day. Sounds daunting, but then again it is the weekend. Truth be told, this print was the last to get designed and the last to […]

The trip to Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary was another first—my inaugural visit to Cape Cod. I have traveled around New England my entire life but never the Cape. While it is truly beautiful, I would advise midnight travel in the middle of the week—be warned, it is popular. The Dalvero crew spent a couple […]

With just a few weeks left until the Journey of Transformation show ends its run at Mystic Seaport, I figured I would take the holiday lull to complete the series documenting my process on the 7 silkscreens hanging until December 18th. The course of this project weaves in and out of several trips through New England and the various spots that […]
