Cherry Blossoms
It’s been said many times that living in Manhattan makes you too hard, living on the West Cost too soft. I was never convinced. What about gallery owners from Chelsea, walking their dogs in Central Park and posting their cherry blossom photos on their blogs? For ten years, that made me cringe.

To embarrass myself, but more importantly to have a point of reference, I thought I’d post the very first sketch I made on an iPad (outside in the sun, which helped: I barely saw what I was doing). The Spring semester is over, I studied the Republic and learned what ‘becomings’ are; perhaps now there’s more time to play around with things like this.
