I had quite a bit of trouble with the bunny and lassoed the arm near the wrist to lower it, which is more realistic when you’re gripping a motorcycle handle.

I've been studying Affinity Designer on iMac and iPad and even though they complete the same tasks, the menus (or program interface) are completely different. Still, the ability to switch back and forth will be important to me.

Still, the real chops of an artist is in drawing and imagination so I'm moving on to caricature drawings. This is all done in Procreate which is available ONLY on the iPad.

I thought I'd try my hand at animal drawings!!!

I'm having the "LULU BROKEN LINK" book sale!!!

Due to the pandemic, the links on 13 of my books were broken, and I have spent the last two days (minus eating and practicing) to reload the PDFs, the book covers, and to double and triple check everything!

I also have re-done my website to make it easier to find everything on the Store pages. So please visit my website at RichieVitale.com and look around, and if you are enticed, please purchase a book (or two).

I’m being featured with the Youth Jazz Orchestra and Bob Sneider Trio:@ Kilbourne Hall with the Youth Jazz Orchestra on May 26 Record Archive on May 27 in my hometown of Rochester.

As a special thank you to my Patreons I would have you on the guest list to any of my performances!

The Richie Vitale Quintet will @ Smalls on Sun, March 15 and the Richie Vitale Trio at Mezzrow w/Special Guest Vocalist Samara Joy on April 13th…both in our beloved NYC!

Also with vocalist Susan Tobocman at Midtown Flute on March 4 in NYC!

WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TO???

I just put up some Woody Shaw chromatic exercises he gave me on the $10 patron page and will soon be making a video of Barry Harris’s minor and major 6th with diminished exercises.

Any NEW videos I’ll try to post the the $2 patron page so EVERYONE can see the PDFs!

I have two more short Sibelius videos (5@6) to finish before I make my next Jazz Tutorial video for YouTube.

Combined with gigs, tai chi, salsa and donating time at Animal Haven and soon with NYC Gallop with autistic children on horses I’ve been pretty busy.  

So I wanted to take the time to thank you and keep you posted on what’s been occurring lately :-)
