Hi All,
So, LANDdraw will be this Saturday (May 3rd) at FLUX FACTORY! We will be getting to Flux around 2 p.m.
Flux Factory is an amazing and fun arts collective out of Queens. Their space has been bought up by the MTA through eminent domain, and as their time there ends they have decided to build a shanty town... on the roof!
Their roof overlooks the Manhattan skyline.
I cannot imagine a more picturesque, or more LANDdraw worthy spot!
Directions to Flux Factory are in this link. I recommend the "Neighborhood Walk" in their directions.
Feel free to email me for my phone number. Don't get nervous - and don't be scared! The area is quite safe. Plus, you'll go by El Shater - one of my favorite grocers in the city. Their schwarma sandwich is to DIE for - not to mention their array of amazing deserts :)

LANDdraw #3 Reminder & Time Change
Hey all,
LandDRAW #3 is this weekend, Saturday April 12th! One little change, we'll be meeting at 12 and going until 1:45, instead of meeting at 1:00. Otherwise, everything stays the same.
Hope to see you at the lovely Hearnshead Ladies Pavillion!

LandDraw 3 - April 12
I am soooooo sorry for the delay - but LIFE has overwhelmed me! Months ago we planned a trip to Vermont to see my father - which got snowed out. So, we moved it to the 29th of March when the next LANDdraw was already scheduled. So, now, we will resume April 12.
Fortunately, I've already picked out a place: The Ladies Pavilion at Hernshead in Central Park.
The Ladies Pavilion is a Victorian Pavilion of wood and wrought iron. It sits on the edge of the Lake, around 77th street on the west side of the park, on a little peninsula. It has a fantastic view of the lake, with a backdrop of the Ramble, and beyond that, the buildings of the East Side. It is truly stunning. It is mostly used in summer as a wedding destination - in fact, on July 13th of this year, I will be getting married there! It is in celebration that I'd like to take a little time to draw what I see there, before the wedding season kicks in to high gear.
We will meet at 1 p.m. at the 77th Street entrance to Central Park. At 1:15 or so, we'll stroll over to the Pavilion. We'll probably be there until 3 or 3:30 if you'd like to come late. I hope to see lots of you there!

LANDdraw Suspended
So, I am suspending LANDdraw until March 15th. I am taking the first part of the licensing exam for Landscape Architecture (the LARE it's called) and it's a real ass kicker. For the next four weeks I'm coming home and studying for a bit every night, and need my weekends for long study sessions as well.
I figure this is OK as most people who have expressed interest in joining me for LANDdraw, are interested for when we can go outside, instead of drawing inside.
So, until then, look for random posts on interesting artists - and an announcement for March 15th!

Artist - Andrew Schoultz & LANDdraw #3
I found another artist who's landscapes are intriguing - Andre Schoultz - a veteran skateboarder and graffiti artist.
I'm not particularly moved by his installations (though I like one part in particular), and even his "landscapes" aren't really "landscapes" in the traditional sense. He is not painting the landscape - but I find his technique to be very compelling, and I like the way he makes paint mimic ball point pen.
His landscapes are imaginary - but the stylistic vision would be fascinating when used in drawing the landscape.
As for LANDdraw 3 - I may or may not do it this week. I have ot research some new places to draw.
