Where I Get My Vintage Illustration Fix
In my heart, I belong to Cincinnati. This town is known for loyalists, and even though I typically buck against the current, this is one instance in my life where I proudly flow along with it in content tranquility. That is why I always feel slightly guilty when I skip over all the cute little jars of buttons near the registers of all the cute little stores in Cincinnati. I do this because I know about a well-kept secret tucked on the second floor of a shop.

Art That Makes You Think (Twice)
Impressionists on the Water
Impressionists on the Water has a cover seemingly expansive enough to step right through it and onto the grass into Monet’s idyllic painting “Le bassin d’Argenteuil.” Not all of the art in this book is idyllic though–it seems that water and its channels have been used to describe nearly every mood and temperament available to man, and no matter what you’re feeling, there’s sure to be a painting in between these covers that perfectly complements it.
Summer plans: Visit Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program
Murals are always a fun surprise. One minute you’re walking down a city street composed of muted grays and faded blacks, and the next, you’re staring at a colorful urban masterpiece, painted joyfully across the side of a building. We’re lucky enough to have some stunners here in Cincinnati, but Philadelphia is universally recognized as the World’s Largest Outdoor Art Gallery, and is home to over 3,600 public artworks. The Mural Arts Program has made them all accessible in their tours, by way of trolley, bike, train, or your own two feet.

Women Painting Women
This past summer, I was lucky enough to visit the National Gallery in London. Scattered throughout are thousands of artworks, and after walking through just a few of the rooms, I began to feel overwhelmed by looking at the portraits–like I was seeing my own fragile humanity reflected back at me. The subjects all looked beautiful, young, and vibrant, but of course, they’ve all been gone for a long time.
Draw the Special Animals in Your Life
It’s funny how animals can capture one’s love and attention, whether they live with us side-by-side, or if we just see glimpses of them by chance in nature. To watch them is rewarding. To draw them takes a studious eye and knowledge of their habitat, anatomy and even stereotypical features, such as the guarding nature of a dog.
