I am honored to be included on this year’s shortlist for the World Illustration Awards in the book category. This project was a few years in the making and became more personal than I ever imagined. If you are in London between June 6-20 please stop but the Somerset House and see this years winners. Now how […]

As the healthcare system is once again under political attack and not being dealt with as adults who want better for our country should, I found this post unfinished from a few months back. The current topic not withstanding (please do your research before taking  side) it is not easy to be a politician, on […]

I watched as the trucks arrived and the crew set up for the day. Having no idea how long it takes to dismantle and drop a 70 foot tall maple tree, I set up surveillance to track the progress. Spys were keeping me informed and the sounds of “The Chipper” alerted me to the momentum of […]

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 […]

When I got back on the DC Metro Friday afternoon I had already decided I would not post anything on Instagram. A single image and a few hashtags doesn’t quite do the subject justice. By the time I was eating lunch a few hours later (first time at Busboys and Poets in Hyattsville, MD—thank you—perfect post-Trump atmosphere) I made […]

Trains, Trains, and More Trains!

I’ve had a fascination with locomotives, railroads, and trains in general since I was a young boy. An old photo of my father and I sitting in the middle of a circle of Lionel track—train poised for departure—after setting up a new set when I was about 3 years old was only the beginning. I […]

In the company of friends

It’s funny how some drawings I remember making and some I don’t. Maybe I lost this sketchbook only to find it and be reminded of times a decade ago. Usually I go searching for a sketchbook knowing that one drawing is sitting on a page, with some recollection of a day or moment that inspired […]

FROM ONEDRAWINGADAY.COM: Another Florida drawing from years back. I still remember my first time drawing down at the Magic Kingdom. The smells, the crowds—the newness of it all—nothing will ever compare walking into that world for the first time. —Dominick

Took a quick but much needed road trip last week. Greg and I headed out to Chicago for the 3rd Annual Workbook Creative Carnival at Open Secret Studios. It was my second trip to the Second City and I was hoping it would put to rest my hesitations from the last time around. As far […]

What a difference four years makes

Technical issues aside (you get what you get when you post every twenty years), I was finally able to merge the paper and the computer to post the drawings from last Monday’s event. Momentary cyber-defeat conquered, the day was better than I had hoped. I feared the cold, inaccurate numbers, police barriers, and all the […]
