Greeting cards of my silly ink drawings of Pittsburgh are here. They are usually in stock at Pittsburgh Center for the Arts shop as well as Visit Pittsburgh at 5th Avenue Place downtown.
I now offer 8 1/2 x 11″ prints on archival paper of my ink drawings here.
In 2016 The Duquesne Club purchased a 22″ X 30″ print of my newest drawing of Sixth Avenue Pittsburgh drawing from the artist. The Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh previously purchased 8 1/2 x 11″ prints of this print for their archive and offices.
I print this list on the back of my series of greeting cards of my “silly ink drawings of Pittsburgh”. Most recent additions are environmental author Edward Abbey and book editor and publisher Margaret McEldery, whose obituary in both the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and the New York Times caught my eye. The theme that most interested Abbey was the struggle for personal liberty against the totalitarian techno-industrial state, with wilderness being the backdrop in which this struggle took place.
64 Famous People of Pittsburgh and the Region
People on my list were either born and grew up here (most), or were simply born here and really did not spend any time at all as their families moved when they were very young (Gertrude Stein and Martha Graham). Or they were not born here but had significant career experiences here like Willa Cather who lived in Pittsburgh for 11 years. She came to Pittsburgh in 1895, upon graduation from the University of Nebraska. She often referred to Pittsburgh as the “birthplace” of her writing career.
