Baby Sketch and 35 Years Later


On a hot, humid night 35 years ago, I sketched my new son as he slept, wondering where life would take him. 


Here's a video of him now. He's an Irish accordion player as well as a coder. He helped do the computer work for a new digital exhibition that will launch on June 29 called "From the Bridge: A View of Irish Traditional Music in New York."

ITMA is committed to preserving, digitizing, and presenting valuable recordings of Irish music.

  1. How wonderful that you have a child interested in music. My grandfather Arthur Walsh was a violinist and a tone tester for Thomas Edison. I've been playing guitar for over 60 years. However, I could not interest one child or grandchild into becoming a musician. Your encouragement has paid off. Congratulations!

  2. That's so cool! How old was he in this sketch? We had a baby girl 2 weeks ago and I've been trying to find the time and energy to sketch her. I've managed to get a couple of sketches while she naps.
