Powell's Penguin

Pencil sketch in a Stratmore Series 400 drawing pad.

My Thanksgiving cartoon for 2021.

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.

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

Clamenza has his priorities straight.

Happy Thanksgiving!

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
