North 28th gets Stephen Powers art piece

Overall project

Look at that art piece!

Our North 28th project at, you guessed it North 28th Street, in Brewerytown got a sweet new art installation by noted artist Stephen Powers.  You may recognize his work riding along the Market Frankford El trains. He did all the Philly love letters.  I'm not sure what this particular piece is about, but it looks to me like it's some sort of engagement. Guy on one knee with a pizza? Or is that an abstract diamond?  Either way, it's still pretty cool.

sketches

I'm not on the same pace I was last year at this time filling up sketchbooks but I am getting back into the swing of it and enjoying it.  I hope to keep doing a few a week. Here's a select few.  I've also posted a bunch recently to my etsy page. Yeah the quality isn't so good, that's why you should go to the etsy page.

Been Busy lately.

The heading is sort of a lie. I've been so bored lately that the only solace I have found for myself is in sketching. It's really pretty therapeutic. I've been setting aside time each day to hopefully draw something worth drawing. It goes back to me trying to reteach myself how to draw. It helps that I haven't had a drink in 3 days. Here are some that I have done lately... all within a few blocks from my office or from around my house.
