Ave C in Brooklyn. Ink in Stillman&Birn Alpha series sketchbook. I played with the texture a little bit, but tried to keep it simple, almost a silhouette. It is like looking through the eyelashes on the street, loosing sense of color, seeing little dots of distortion, deep in your thoughts, sinking in hidden emotions.
Parroquia de San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato Mx.
Originalmente de estilo barroco y posteriormente cambio su fachada a un estilo gótico.
In this part of Brooklyn, in Orthodox Jewish community, despite presence of modern cars, you feel like in a different century. Time doesn’t matter, only life and respect for life are present. Even sky was different. I passed by and was charmed for a while, appreciating our similarities and differences.
I used ink on Bockingford 90 lb paper. I even forgot to add bits of color.
This is a detail of the façade of the oldest theater in Guanajuato, El Teatro Angela Peralta placed in one of the oldest cities in Mexico, San Miguel de Allende.

Day and Night
Another page playing on the day and night theme, this one in orange micron ink.
Red Ink
An abstract page done with a micron pen while thinking about summer and the warm days ahead.
This weekend a “chorinho” rode took place at Bar e Chopperia Pressão Alta in Miguel Pereira and wile drinking some beer, also made some sketches. This one is of Paul Armando – who I had the pleasure of meeting at the end of the show – playing “cavaquinho”.
Next weekend should have some more! I recommend to all! rs
Summer Wine
Inspired by the song (heard on the radio driving through the Red Wood trees of Northern California) and the pleasant taste of fruit wine enjoyed on a warm evening.
I read that tweet online about call for artists to make a card for charity purposes to raise funds for The Women’s Crisis Center in Moss, Norway, to support abused women and children. I happily did the card in sepia ink and green Kuretake and only than found out that it is too late and exhibit is already open for 2 days. :-/
