Hello & Happy Monday! Over the weekend I was looking over some of my old sketch books. I found lots of New York doodles. I have such a love hate experience with that city. Right out of high school in the suburbs of Kansas City (barley 18) I headed to art school at Parsons School of Design in NYC. I thought I had landed on the MOON! (it's funny now & I am proud off my yourself for going for it) but at the time it was well.... culture shock! End of my freshman year I immediately transferred schools to R.I.S.D in Providence. A place that felt WAY more like home. Once I graduated I found my way back to NY for several years with my first "real" jobs. I wouldn't be surprised if I am sucked back there again. It seems to have some sort of magnetic pull on me. I love the energy of the city, the people watching, the creativity, the pace & how you can kind of be anybody. I don't like the lack of trees, the grass, eye contact & space. (and summer stink- yep don't miss that...)
