James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net. Combining this with the love of cartooning Small Saves emerged in 1991 and took on a life of his own. “To play goal – then come home and draw Small Saves — is my ideal definition of a good day.”

The following announcement was provided by Storefront Art Projects:
Storefront Art Projects presents: Draw a Line, featuring Lesley Cohen, Sand T Kalloch, Christine Kyle from Dec. 6-27, 2025. A reception Saturday, Dec. 6, 1-4 p.m.
Lines in many shades of gray that form evocative shapes, lines that seem to be a mile long, and lines of perspective incised in wonky clay boxes meet up in Draw a Line this December at Storefront Art Projects.
Lesley Cohen uses charcoal and pastel to makelayered marks that join together to form a fragmented whole.
Sand T Kalloch’s abstract series “A Mile Long” uses wax pastels, graphite, conte and ink to ruminate on the concept of speed, distance and time. Christine Kyle’s quirky 2-D lines on 3-D wall sculptures challenge assumptions about the drawn line and the sculptural edge.
