Meant to do a photo post about last night’s episode of “Family Guy,” but my computer is unable to detect my camera at the moment, and I don’t have time to figure out why. Oh, well. Talking about something else! My mom’s wish was to have the entire family go with her to Boston to celebrate her birthday – March 11 – and visit my brother Andrew, who is attending… Read More »Sketches from Boston
On Saturday, I went with my mom to Salon Vertigo, where we both had an appointment with my favorite hair stylist, Yasaman Gharavi. My mom’s appointment was before mine, so while I waited, I sketched the view of the entrance in front of me. It made the wait go by so fast, it was my turn before I knew it. A productive visit overall. By the way, for any of… Read More »Salon Vertigo sketch

Among the artists that night were select members of Girls Drawin’ Girls, including… Read More »Sugar Plum Fairy and a shout-out to Leen Isabel
“Classic Pin-Ups” was the theme at Gallery Godo last Friday night, where I was hit with some bad news, and then good.

Good news: the late night drawing events will now be held at the Animation Guild,… Read More »Classic Pin-Ups: Gallery Godo’s final late night drawing event
Went on a long walk through Studio City, Toluca Lake, and Burbank yesterday, which all began with a near-2.5 mile walk to Aroma Coffee & Tea for breakfast and sketching. Spent two hours or so on the above drawing with a dying Tombo pen. By the time I was done, the last half of my breakfast burrito that I couldn’t finish earlier became my lunch for the day. Very convenient.… Read More »Aroma sketch
For reasons that I don’t want to get into at this time, I’m pulling the plug on the 30 Day Drawing Challenge, and resuming the regular schedule of Monday/Thursday posts. Granted, today is Tuesday, but whatever – gotta start somewhere. Anyway, here’s a sketch I did last week during breakfast at Bea Bea’s. See you guys on Thursday!
