  1. Byron Burger and Fries

    2017-12-08 16:33:01 UTC
    Thankfully I chose a Eurostar train later in the day so I could have a farewell lunch with some of my London friends. We went to a burger joint called Byron Burger and it was pretty great. I love trying new foods but at the end of the day if…

  2. Don’t Touch My Soul (Solange Painting)

    2017-12-07 11:47:03 UTC
    One night I was out at Rudy’s in New Haven and I ran into a friend of mine. He told me about an exciting new art show that I had to get involved with. Over the next few days I received the details on the event. The show was based…

  3. French Toast

    The morning of my last day in London was bittersweet so I knew I had to get a delicious breakfast to balance things out. I stopped at a fancy restaurant called Bronte. I sat at the pristine looking bar and ordered French Toast. As soon as it came I knew…

  4. Chicken Burger (Mayflower Pub)

    2017-11-08 22:29:10 UTC
    One of the most significant things about my trip to London was that my Mom had been there years ago when she was a teenager. I was far from home but as a result I felt closer to her because of this new, shared experience. Using WhatsApp I easily shared…

  5. Garlic Bread

    2017-11-08 22:13:56 UTC
    The companions to my Chicken Club sandwich were two pieces of buttery Garlic Bread. I enjoyed painting this piece because I got to experiment in Procreate with textures. Like I stated before this series is all about merging my cartooning and oil painting backgrounds. Art created using Procreate on iPad…

  6. Chicken Club

    2017-11-08 22:02:47 UTC
    Before making it to The London Eye I stopped in to grab some food at a nearby pub. There were a lot of different options in terms of food but “bar food” was typically my mainstay while I was there. I ordered a chicken club on a sourdough roll with…

  7. Pasta

    2017-10-30 16:37:35 UTC
    After exploring Hampton Court Palace for the better part of the day I went to a nearby pub for a late lunch. I ordered a Pasta with eggplant, lime and beef to fill up after walking through all of those royal chambers.  This painting was very deceptive because I believed…

  8. Fish and Chips

    2017-10-17 23:17:07 UTC
    It was Canada Day and I was in London enjoying some art museums. To get away from the crowds I went to a restaurant in Westminster. I knew I had to get some authentic Fish in Chips while in the UK so today was perfect to check that off my…

  9. Pato Taquito

    2017-10-17 23:15:32 UTC
    I’m starting a new series on the meals I enjoyed in Europe over the summer. While in London my friends introduced me to a chill, Spanish restaurant in Bloomsbury. The main course (Super Nachos) was very good but it was actually the appetizer that stood out to me. I glanced…

    On Sunday I attended an event hosted by my friend and fellow dandy, Diego Leon aka Dandy in The Bronx. It was a pop up store event for Bronx based brand “The Bronx Native”. I was on hand to showcase my iPad painting talents and to support my fellow creatives…
