I’ve been posting since August about my trip to Greece this summer. I hope you’ve enjoyed the work. I’ve finally come to last of the reportage drawings so I’m going to conclude this series with a few very different (from eachother) pieces. The first are 2 are from the island of Santorini. The next from […]

Here are a few drawings I made as Despina and I walked through the back of the famous gorge. By walking through the back, I mean we started the hike from the end rather than take the 10 mile walk through the Cretan mountains. Hey, we had limited time, so we did what we could, […]

This was a great night spent in a Cretan village. Seeing traditional dance and live bouzouki players was incredible. It’s the kind of night that makes you really appreciate the ability to make a reportage drawing.

If you’ve been over to my wife Despina’s blog you know that we went on a Greek ‘odyssey’ this summer. I’ll never forget the trip for many reasons, but the most memorable for me was that for the first time I had the opportunity to visit family in another part of the world. Being welcomed […]

city of Chania

Chania is the second largest city in Crete, and in my opinion the most beautiful, particularly the venetian harbor. On the water there is a venetian lighthouse and a mosque, all evidence of the rich history of this area. This reportage series was made behind the buildings facing the harbor where small alleys are lined […]

When I received this commission from @jeffersonuniv to contribute to their magazine, RESEARCH, I was excited as I've always been drawn to butterfly imagery and the idea of metamorphosis, but that was not at all what this was about. Butterfly disease is a devastating disorder that often leads to an aggressive and fatal skin cancer. People who have this rare genetic condition have skin as fragile as butterfly's wings because their bodies do not make enough collagen to hold the layers of their skin together. This leads to painful blistering and ultimately cancer. Most patients do not live to the age of 35.
