Once Upon A Time

Affordable prints of my drawing Once Upon A Time (Ink and Graphite, 2002) are now available at Bluecanvas. Cards, canvas wraps, posters, and skins are also available.  

It's a little startling to realize ten years have passed since I created this drawing. One gallery provided a magnifying glass for viewers. These prints are enlargements of the original drawing, and when I prepared the file, it was a little startling too to be reminded just how small and tight I worked in those days. These enlargements maintain the original's level of detail and finish, and I'm happy that viewers will be able to explore this place as those gallerygoers did.

Johan Santana's No-Hitter

Art by Joe Petruccio. More on his sketchblog My Mets Journal.

A year ago, Johan Santana underwent career-threatening shoulder surgery. Three months ago, Mets fans didn’t know if he’d pitch this season- And if he could, how effective would he be?  Last night, Santana threw the first no-hitter in Mets history, against the St. Louis Cardinals, currently the best offensive team in baseball.  Mets manager Terry Collins to Santana, late in the game: “You’re my hero.” What a great night to be a Mets fan.
