New York City and Its Makeover




The latest issue of "New York Magazine" has a spread on all the new glass and steal structures going up in this city and the old buildings that were torn down to make room for them. It is so sad to see such timeless architecture ripped away.

hey man....thanks for stopping by the blog once again. I guess I've been slackin' a bit :)
These paintings of yours are truly incredible man...I can feel the texture coming off the monitor. You need to come down to Richmond, VA and get inspired by some of the busted buildings we got to offer...I think they are calling them "historical" these days...hehe. we really need to trade drawings..... :)
