Tax Preparation Help

The AARP offers a free tax-filing services at the local library so I went there to get mine done today.  There were nine others already on the list at 9:30am when I got there.  However, I came prepared with a mini sketchbook to keep me occupied, while waiting, until they were ready to help me file my taxes.

The Vault by Nespresso

After that one day fashion show event last week, they tore down the props and cleared the Vanderbilt Hall for another type of event.  The Vault by Nespresso opened a three day promo event showcasing a new selection of coffee pods you can try for free!  I made a point to stop and sketch last Wednesday morning before going to work and in the process, was able to meet some Nespresso people who are responsible for the event.  Showed them the sketch and they were grateful that I shared it.

Before heading home, I sketched the view once again even though the venue has closed for the day.  It was nice to capture a different view which I later finished adding color at home.  On Thursday morning, I showed up there once again for the free coffee and made sure to share the colored pieces to the people I met the day before.

The New York Fashion Week at GCT

The New York Fashion Week started last Thursday.  That morning, I made my way out of Grand Central in the Vanderbilt Hall direction and saw some finished props for the show.  I caught the tail end of the show after work just before my train ride home.  Trying to sketch quickly was nice and enjoyable.  I added some color to the sketch once I got home.
