Where You’ll Find Me this Summer
This year, like most summers, you’ll find me on one of the beaches close to New York City, in Prospect Park enjoying a free concert, visiting my favorite gelatto shop, hiking, or dining al fresco with friends. Where you will not find me is behind a table at any craft fair! This is not bad…

Foodietoos for Summer Fun
Since the warm temperatures are with us once again, I’d like to remind you that wearing Foodietoos (temporary tattoos) can be fun and entertaining! They are a conversation-starter at any barbeque or picnic. Just think: You could wear the Foodietoo equivalent of an ingredient in the salad or snack that you brought to the party!…

Windows of New York City
I’ve posted two new original illustrations in The Nancydraws Shop as part of the “Love, New York” series. Like the others in this group, I plan to create multiple original drawings based on the same designs as they sell, but I also offer prints at a lower price. Its a little experimental as far as…

Restaurant Drawings
From 2003, through 2010, I was a regular contributor for The Park Slope Reader and New York Spirit‘s restaurant reviews. I really enjoyed being able to check out new restaurants and know about what’s happening in that world and around my community. An infrequent side-benefit was a free appetizer or beverage from a gracious manager or…

“Love, New York”
Over the summer of 2013, I decided to take a break from my usual digital collage style and focus on drawing, which is how all of my creative projects begin. I needed to look no further than my daily voyages around my home town of New York City for new subject matter. There always seems…
