Welcome to my website, here’s how it works:
- Below you will find my blog-posts, updated regularly with items of interest and new (or newly scanned) artwork.
- Above are some quick buttons to get you to my reel and contact information- a good place to start!
- To the right you will find the subscription form so we can stay in touch, and below that are some categories that will help you find specific parts of the website.
- Further down, the Calendar has future event information such as the weekly ASIFA figure drawing sessions I run at Westwood (only $5!) and the Dr. Sketchy’s monthly cabaret-style drawing events.
Enough of that, most of you know how this stuff works! I’m still figuring out a good bit of this Web 2.0 world, with the help of my web guru Judi Knight at New Tricks. Click around, check out some artwork and animation and drop me a line.
I’d like to hear your comments!

April 3rd, 2007- The first ever Boozer Doodle!
(Continued from previous post- click on “Events” to the right and scroll down to find Part One)… I called my friend Ashley Zeltzer, who had been doing promotional material for the Dames Aflame burlesque group. Ashley is crazy talented,

My first attempt at using “Brushes”, an iPhone painting application. This is “Freckles”, our chicken who is ailing from an eye infection. It’s a little tricky figuring out the program on such a small canvas, but it works pretty well!
Dione modeled in July ‘09, eight months pregnant. She came back to pose in January with her beautiful baby Ruby!
Tonight is a special event at the Westwood ASIFA sponsored figure class. We will have our “After” session with Dione, who modeled back in July when she was 8 months pregnant. Happily, she is back tonight with her baby Ruby! We will try some poses with both and hope to get some great drawings of mother and child.
A newborn session for the new year!

A collaboration drawing from 11/04/09- Election Night!

The idea for Boozer Doodle started with an e-mail
from one of the artists at my weekly figure drawing class, James Burns. He sent me a link to the Dr. Sketchy’s website and suggested I try something like that with our class. I had been tinkering with some ideas, once even had the class form an “in the round” seating arrangement and do sequential drawings that I later compiled with fellow artist Raquel Asturias. I’ve lost her file but was able to put together a Flash file from the original scans.
About a dozen artists sat in a circle around the model. We all numbered our drawings in the sequence that we were seated, then each drew three sequential poses from model Ana Balka. I later scanned in all the drawings and re-sized and positioned them in Photoshop, then created the final transition movie in Flash:
This was a fun experiment, and I had been thinking about trying some different approaches with the models. One idea was to have them act out a blind script pose by pose, and reveal a story through the final drawings.
When I saw the Dr. Sketchy’s website, I saw the possibility of something apart from the regular figure class- something fun, and more in the tradition of the Moulin Rouge and the bawdy night life drawings of Toulouse-Lautrec!
After reading several of Dr. Sketchy’s creator Molly Crabapple’s ideas for using a bar setting and hiring performers for models, I quickly thought of the Vortex in Midtown, with its separate back showroom for the burlesque group Dames Aflame.
