Michael Arthur (Inklines) posting again today, featuring another artist submission! This time it’s a lovely, simple drawing of my friend Michael Leviton from chadilaksono. What a lovely surprise to see someone I know drawn so beautifully. Check out Caroline’s page for many other beautiful line and wash drawings of scenes from NYC music and life.
I hope Caroline can join us as our guest for drawing the Balthrop, Alabama show on November 19! We’re looking for lots of people to come and draw along! If you want to submit drawings for us to consider, check out the original post here! We’ll be featuring drawings EVERY DAY from now until November 19!
As a side note—have you ever seen Michael Leviton’s beautiful video for his song Summer’s The Worst? It’s one of my favorites . . .

Lou Reed and Pete Townshend playing a short set of Velvet Underground covers at Joe’s Pub in 2007. It was a real privilege to be in the room that day; it was the first (and only?) time they played together.

Here’s a special Halloween-week post.
The installation that includes Julian Crouch’s creepy and wonderful creatures at BRIC Arts Media in Brooklyn comes to an end this weekend. Here’s the complete set of drawings I made back in August/September while I sat in his studio and watched him (and his assistants) work…

Michael Arthur (Inklines) here, reaching in to the big mailbag of art submissions today. If you like to draw music and want to come draw at Joe’s Pub, you should send us some drawings!
Today’s featured drawing comes from Katherine E.Cooper, who submitted a line drawing of performer Cyntha Hopkins. I’m kind of a sucker for both simple line drawings AND accordions. Thanks, Katherine! Will you be in NYC on November 19th? We’d love to have you in and drawing during the Bathrop, Alabama show!

Michael Arthur (Inklines) here again. I love scrolling through the submissions we’ve been getting in response to our call for artists who like to draw musicians!
Today I want to share these two drawings from Maria Tsaguriya. I love the way Maria visualizes the actual music in color and flow. Even the figures and instruments seem to be bending with the melodies! Awesomeness.

Leading up to next week’s opening of the show of my work at Joe’s Pub, I’m sharing a few drawings from my years at the Pub. First up is Nels Cline from Wilco in a show he played along with Jennie Schienman!

Michael Arthur here (Inklines on Tumblr). I’m the Pub’s Archival Artist and I will be going through and sharing the many wonderful submissions we’ve been receiving in our search for artists who like to draw music. If you haven’t heard, we’re hoping to bring more folks in to draw at Joe’s Pub. You can check out the details here.
That said, check out the Tumblr page of Ami Plasse (AmiRocks). Whoah! I love these drawings—not least because many of them come from Austin, Texas, where I spent most of the nineties. Ami’s drawings and animation are immediate, cartoon-like madness that really capture the moment. Scroll through to see all sorts of approaches to capturing the spirit of a live musical moment!

My first video. I’ve posted it before and I’ll probably post it again. Just needed to hear this song again today.
