Museum Studies (2010)
Being a tourist
If my time in NYC was characterized by anything, I might say it was experimentation. Through the 7 years I lived there, I engaged in a few extra-curricular activities. The first couple of years I would attend Life Drawing sessions at the Society of Illustrators. After a couple of years doing that on occasion, I moved on to the next flower, busy-bee like. Living in NYC, and having just a few months prior finally made it to the American Museum of Natural History, it struck me that it was a gold mine for any illustrator. Together with artifact collections at the Met and a couple other smaller museums, there is such a variety of stuff for an artist to study that I could probably go once a week the rest of my life, draw 2-3 things each time, and never draw every artifact on display in that town.
