This NYC rat has a job interview downtown. He is hoping the A train is running on time.

Drawing by me. Ink, Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator

Anybody need a tattoo? I did this ink drawing, scanned it, touched up the inking in Photoshop then finished it in Illustrator

I can’t spell Flatbush.

I like drawing buildings. The top one I did in Adobe Illustrator. The bottom color pencils in a Moleskine pad. I might have already posted this one already... Whatever.

Remember, be like Godzilla. VOTE!

My latest Godzilla drawing. Staedler mechanical pencil with Hunts .01 lead, .01 & .03 Micron markers. Scanned into PhotoShop where I touch up the drawing & finally colored it.

It isn’t as finished as I wanted it to be but I kinda like it.

Clamenza has his priorities straight.

My son Malcolm turned ninteen yesterday. He’s now in college. It seems that time streaks by like an express train passing through a local stop. I am now just a passenger on an express train called Malcolm. So far the ride has been kinda smooth. I hope he continues to make the right stops. #son #family #boy #youngman #teen #teenageboys #africanamerican #brooklyn #clintonhill #putnamavenue #brooklyncollege #essexacademy #college #malcolm (at Clinton Hill, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrqM7iRFl6U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1zsgpykbgisa

Tonight Marcia & I were lucky enough to see the American Candy comedy troupe at WNYC’s GreenSpace. American Candy is fronted by comedian, actor, writer, producer Hollie Harper. She’s the funniest woman I know. She along with her co-writers, producers & performers put on some of the best, funny, topical, not PC comedy in NYC. Hollie’s style is like comedy jazz. If you aren’t faint of heart & want some real, in your face comedy ya gotta follow American Candy. Check out AC on YT, FB & here on IG. Say Big Red Penguin sent you. And please support public radio. #americancandy #hollieharper #stephaniebok #greenspace #npr #wnyc #wbgo #africanamerican #funnywoman #beautiful publicradio #jazz #comedian #brooklyn #clintonhill #fortgreene (at The Greene Space at WNYC/WQXR) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJt3ghFAWa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i0xul77y2gqd

On this election night I watched “Casablanca” for what must be the 200th time. A film about love & duty & honor & patriotism & standing up to fascists. Tonight was a good night to watch this movie. #casablanca #humphreybogart #ingridbergman #warnerbros #patriot #fuckfascism #hollywood #turnerclassicmovie #tcm #midterms #benmackenzie (at Clinton Hill, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp3P3HcFl-w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k2157utb4j4f
