Le Tip Weekly Showcase

Le Tip Mt Sinai Member of the Week

Each week I highlight another member of my Mt Sinai Le Tip chapter. This week's showcase is for Dennis Coburn.Dennis Coburn-Graphic Artist Dennis is the Graphic Artist of group. He does original watercolors, home portraits, prints and many other graphic projects and has been doing so for his entire adult life.  My favorite work of his is a poster he did for a New York Tugboat organization. When I was young, my father worked on one of the city tugs that hauled skows up and down the East River and would occasionally bring me onboard for the 2 day trip. I instantly recognized the Moran and McAllister boats that frequented the Harbor back in the day.
