I like to spend summer days in New York by sleeping in and then joining friends for brunch in a nearby cafe. I always carry my sketchbook with me so I’ll draw some of the local patrons or strangers that are pretty common in the busy mornings. My friends and I exchange minor gossip and they inform me of their plans for the day and I let them know what I’m currently working on art wise. One of my good friends usually meets me and gives me a list of new models that are willing to pose for me. After the brunch, I return to my loft and I start working on what I need to ship out to NYC galleries. I also start doing research for new possible projects to begin. I call and touch base with my gallery dealer and then I order some art supplies online. When I really want to out do myself, I head out to the Modern Museum of Art. I dwell there for a couple hours so I can stare dumbfounded at their massive collection. That night I get a cab and head out to new art openings and see what new ideas are coming out from emerging artists. I wouldn’t say I was overly popular but I could say I wasn’t unheard of. I see a lot of familiar faces. Usually I stay for a while, examine the art, hit up the wine bar, and then call a cab home. I stay up for a few hours working on paintings and then I have another glass of wine and call it a night.
