  • When your food+packaging prompt is "soup can," what else are you gonna draw?? 👩‍🎨 And I always wonder, if I had the chance to own just one of Warhol's 32 soup cans, which one would I pick? ❓ I really love Pepper Pot and also Scotch Broth (a hearty soup), but Vegetarian Vegetable was one of my favorites growing up. 🥕 What would you choose? (Link in bio to the full set, which is now thankfully in MoMA's collection and can't be sold piece by piece.) . . . . #warhol #soupcan #andywarhol #campbellssoup #pepperpot #artnerd #popartist #procreateart #makingarteveryday
  • This week's #makingarteveryday theme was "food + packaging" and i might have gone a little overboard with a few of the prompts. 🤷‍♀️ This one's appropriate for Saturday morning- does anyone other than the Barber sisters remember the weird Jimmy Durante-ish Crispy Critters jingle? Ah-cha-cha-cha! 🥣 . . . . #crispycritters #grapenuts #product19 #shreddedwheat #kidsofthe80s #saturdaymorningcereal #procreatedrawing #procreateart #illustratorsofinstagram
  • It makes no sense and yet it makes absolutely perfect sense. 🥃 . . . . #babyyoda #babyyodaislife #whiskeyglass #thingsthatmakemehappy #thisistheway #whiskeydrinker #notatoy

DCB On The Road on Instagram

  • Built in 1765, the Morris-Jumel Mansion is Manhattan's oldest house. Perched on the highest (or second-highest; I saw references to both) point in Manhattan, it was used by General George Washington as a headquarters during the Revolution, then again early in his presidency, when he held his first Cabinet dinner there. Aaron Burr also lived there toward the end of his life, after marrying Eliza Jumel. Perched just up the road from Coogan's Bluff, the house also overlooks the site of the Polo Grounds, home to the New York Giants baseball team through 1957. A few blocks south sit the John T. Brush steps, used by fans to get to the ballpark and restored in recent years. The Polo Grounds Towers now occupy the site of the ballpark and dominate the view from the mansion's front porch and eastern grounds. - DC 🌁 🌁 🌁 #nyc #newyorkcity #morrisjumelmansion @morrisjumel #pologrounds #johntbrushstairway
  • Finally, a new post on dcbontheroad.com! I knew I would love @gatewayarchnps because, hello, midcentury modernist masterpiece - and our visit was just as fun and awe-inspiring as I hoped. 😮 Plus, there's a statue of the true hero of the Lewis & Clark journey: Seaman the Newfoundland! 🐾 Link in bio- just click "National Parks"to get the story. -CB . . . . #gatewayarch #gatewayarchnationalpark #midcenturyarchitecture #eerosaarinen #pittsburghsteel #stlouisarch #findyourpark #seeamerica #dcbroute66
