3 недели в Японии - часть 1: Токио
By Mike Daikubara in Tokyo, Japan I recently took a 3 weeks trip to Japan to see my family, relative and friends. The main focus was to help my father settle into his new life after losing his mother and wife this spring. The trip was not all fun but I did have a few […]
Бостонский музей пожарной охраны
I’ve passed by this building numerous times but have never been inside until last week. Open on Saturdays (and sometimes on Wednesdays) to the public, this building was the Boston Fire Museum which was jam packed with fire fighting memorabilia from the Greater Boston area. The place is owned and operated by The Boston Sparks Association […]
Йельский музей естественной истории Пибоди
I sometimes wake up in the morning with a strong urge to sketch a specific topic. In the past I’ve had an urge for classic cars, buildings, construction machines, people etc This morning it was Dinosaurs and since I’ve sketched most of the dinosaurs in my area, I drove 2-1/2 hours to New Haven Connecticut […]
Hotel Sketches иногда кажется тяжелой работой - но я все равно увлекаюсь!
Я нарисовал каждый номер отеля, в котором останавливался за последние 8 лет, измеряя и рисуя на месте. Это начиналось как простой способ запомнить свою поездку, наряду со всеми другими зарисовками, которые я делаю во время путешествия. В последнее время это стало походить на работу, поскольку независимо от [...]...
Half day Fridays: Walking around MIT and Harvard Square
The company I work for has summer hours – which means we work longer hours from Monday to Thursday but on Fridays we get to leave at lunch time. This is great since it makes the weekend feel really long! Last Friday an old friend from California was visiting town so we arranged to meet […]
Japanese tea cermony inside a 100 year old house from Kyoto @ Boston Children’s Museum !?
A while back our friend Nao had mentioned she was taking a Japanese tea ceremony class and had asked my wife and I if we wanted to visit. I’ve always wanted to sketch a tea ceremony and she mentioned that her teacher (Sensei) did not have any issues – great! She mentioned that the class […]
Посещение Статуи Свободы из Нью-Джерси
Знаете ли вы, что на остров Статуи Свободы можно добраться на пароме из Нью-Джерси? Я не знал этого до тех пор, пока не навестил своего отца в прошлые выходные. Эта первая зарисовка была сделана с балкона квартиры моего отца с видом на реку Гудзон и верхнюю западную часть Манхэттена. Буря только что унесла [...].
Рисовать животных - это так терапевтично
Прошло несколько лет с тех пор, как я в последний раз посещал зоопарк. В один из выходных моя жена, мой друг-фотограф Тони и я отправились в зоопарк Roger Williams Park в Род-Айленде. Для небольшого штата этот зоопарк довольно большой и очень красивый. Мы непринужденно прогуливались по парку, мой друг снимал [...]...
Летний скетч-крауль на Кейп-Коде
Last week Erica Szuplat contacted me via Flickr letting me know that she was running a Sketch Crawl in Falmouth, MA – a town at the base of beautiful Cape Cod. I was excited to finally meet some local sketchers and to visit this town for the first time so I drove down about an […]
‘Glosta’ Hummer
My wife and I took a quick day trip up to Gloucester Massachusetts. After having lived in New England for 6 years, I finally learned how to pronounce the name of this place today! It was a cloudy day so it wasn’t as scenic as it’s supposed to be on a nice day. Ended up […]
