When I draw or paint a city map, that place become my virtual escape, the place my mind goes for distraction from whatever is stressing me. My eyes walk those streets as I draw them. I wonder about the block patterns and form ideas about why the grid moves this way or that, etc. With this one, I wonder, have I been in this spot? Is this the route we took from here to there? With this one, there is so much urban fabric inviting my rumination! That’s good because I’ll be drawing it for the next two weeks, probably! It’s a big one. Can you guess?? . . . #carveouttimeforart #doitfortheprocess #drawing #blackandwhite #citymap #citymapdrawing #map #mapart #wip #brooklyn #newyork #nyc #brooklynmap #mapdrawing #brklyn https://www.instagram.com/p/BmNwq19FWsQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pry85fcgzdsb

Brooklyn, New York. This is definitely one of the biggest city maps I’ve drawn, both the greatest density and largest area. I love all these little black lines following the grids that make up the complex patchwork of this historic borough. I’m enjoying the feeling of it’s old streets, the history of average people living out their lives, immigrants and “hipsters” building Brooklyn in place and vibe. I hope to have prints of this drawing available this week. . . . . #carveouttimeforart #doitfortheprocess #drawing #blackandwhite #citymap #citymapdrawing #map #mapart #wip #brooklyn #newyork #nyc #brooklynmap #mapdrawing #brklyn (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmiVzSxl5sp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kq5poofqz0kj

Someone pinch me. I got to be outside exploring and exercising every day for the past six days. I’ve seen beautiful things and experienced precious moments with my family. It’s not humid today! Arlo is sleeping through the night and Clark is finally using the toilet (just what you wanted to know, right?) And now a little drawing time. ✍🏼 Is this real life?!! 😆 #pinchme #imdreaming #countyourblessings #wahm #momlife . . . . #carveouttimeforart #doitfortheprocess #drawing #blackandwhite #citymap #citymapdrawing #map #mapart #wip #brooklyn #newyork #nyc #brooklynmap #mapdrawing #brklyn https://www.instagram.com/p/BmWFpSlFWAW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x1uta6u8lk80
