One of my most talented art students let me vandalize her hat. Someday, when she’s famous, I’ll put this on my resume.

Sometimes I wear cargo shorts, and sometimes I fill the pockets with markers and paper, and sometimes I doodle while I’m out. I made these one of those times.

This is your brain on art. Any questions?

I borrowed the center character from a former student’s doodle. I borrowed the drawing style from Jon Burgerman, Pablo Picasso, Keith Haring and the Ancient Mayans. I borrowed the palette and crown from a Jean-Michel Basquiat painting. I borrowed the title from Maurice Sendeck. Everything is due back in two weeks.

A few weeks ago, my young mural collaborator, Ben, created a flurry of doodles. We then selected some of those doodles and dropped them into a rough composition. Next, we refined and tightened the composition and decided what colors will go where. Next stop, basement wall… stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion.

I’ve recently embarked upon a mural collaboration with my young pal, Ben Feldman. So far, we’ve co-doodled and co-color-selected. Soon, we’ll be co-ruining-their-basement-carpet.

Or is it who? Or is it whom? Whatever.

My grandmother has a piano. The piano has a bench. The bench is full of my old drawings.

Everyone’s favorite book, turned animated film, turned Broadway musical, turned Jr. version musical is now a hit tee shirt.

A student doodled this when he should have been working. I digitized and colorized it when I should have been working. I think it works.
