Hello Danny! It´s inspiring reading your essay. I never visited New York city, but I´ve seen it in art books, pictures, posts cards and movies. I agree with you. We can star drawing, sketching and writing anywhere, it´s just matter of willing.

Your expression is so good and so standard but apparently so easy that It seems it is quite simple ,though it is not so simple at all. By the way, I am a humble fan of your art and writing. You are conducting a session on the 7th march 2026. I am quite interested in it. But, ironically I am totally pennyless right now. I woud be grateful to you, if you would give me a free access as a seriously interested but a financially stucked novice illustrator . Looking forward to hearing from you asap. Sincerely, Md.

Thank you for the inspiration and the reminder. The only barriers are our own minds.

Hi Danny,

In comparison to you, I retired to NYC. After a 30+ career in education in the suburbs, my husband and I returned to NYC, where we attended college and grad school. I love the opportunity to hit the streets and walk to world-class museums or theaters. Or we window-shop, people-watch, or discover new restaurants. I love to head to the parks or the Hudson River piers to watch the sunset. Yes, it is crowded and noisy. But we love the energy and limitless experiences this city offers.
