Like the starving artists of old I draw in the coffeehouses (well, Starbucks anyway and Borders Books if you live in the Livingston/East Hanover New Jersey area respectively stop by and say hi) on the weekends (friday:4-9 alternate weeks (SB/B)/saturday: 2-5/530-9 (SB/B) sunday: 1-5 (SB) where I attract the curiosity and admirers among patrons and staff.

I work in the medium of graphite,white charcoal, tortillon, and eraser. My subjects tend to be women of different cultures and statuses since all women are works of art in their own unique way. My passion is portraits and figurative drawings.

As such to show passion I don’t go for the ultrarealistic fine pencil work but rather my compositions through cross-hatching utilize lots of lights and darks and how one plays off the other.

And if you see anything that tickles your fancy, go for it…buy something.

Cheers
Steve
