Harvard Square


My tribute to Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA where you will always find a musician performing, usually right near the Harvard Coop (pronounced Coop, not Co-op) which is the building I depicted.

Nationally known performers who got their start in Harvard Square include Tracy Chapman and Joan Baez.

When you're not watching the street musicians, there are SO many great restaurants and stores to check out (Favorite restaurants: Border Cafe, Fire and Ice, Grafton Street).

Girl in a tree


I really wanted to draw a tree showing the texture of the bark and somehow a girl got stuck in it.

Mykonos poster


My mother-in-law is in Mykonos so I thought I would revisit a poster I illustrated and designed after visiting there myself a few years ago.

I illustrated the scene from a photograph I took. I loved the juxtaposition of the lazy scenery with the hard-working donkey in the foreground. And the real-life colors are so vibrant! When I was done with the illustration it just begged for some type and that's how it became a poster or a postcard.

Keys

Perhaps because my wife and I are closing on our new house tomorrow I decided to finish up this illustration. What more need be said?
