“Self Help: Get Over it” Graphite and charcoal on paper mounted to board. 40x30. Double self portraits are fun! #selfportraits #contemporarydrawing #twoofme
I’ll be showing this new #silverpoint self portrait, along with a couple of other recent drawings, at the League X LIC show, curated by @steelstatue for LIC Arts Open. Reception is next Friday - see last post for deets! #licartsopen #metalpoint #selfportraitdrawing
Self Portrait in Silver and Gold, April 2026. Metalpoint drawing on mixed media (collage), 15 x 22. I love that signature silverpoint shine; when you view it from an angle, and are reminded: art is alchemy. #silverpoint #metalpoint #hatching #selfportraits
And now for something a little different… “Geoff’s Dogs” in graphite, on paper. These puppies live in Ohio and are the fur babies of an old friend from our London daze. #dogportrait #petportraitsofinstagram
Let’s talk about this drawing! I learned SO much about Raphael’s silverpoint technique from this drawing currently on exhibit at The Met!!! I took a few high-res photos and the depth of detail blew my mind. Swipe through for a breakdown of how he used his ground as a ‘final’ glazing agent. Truly a masterful technique! Can’t wait to try it. #silverpoint #raphaelsublimepoetry #raphael @metmuseum
Five minute poses from life. Fluid figures in wash and pen, on toned paper. Found in my flat files. I believe I did these as a student of @costavavagiakis 10 years ago at the @aslnyc !!!
Silverpoint drawing on mixed media / collage, 12x18. I’m still feeling my way into this style, and there are a few things I’d have done differently while preparing the ground. But I’m digging this melting pot of a few favorite themes and mediums. A promising series!

Graphite figure studies, on paper, 2026. The trick to getting a really pleasant value (and texture) range with pencils is simply to use a couple of different leads. You don’t even have to work it up much… just enough to imply what you mean!
