The above image is of the writing on a black wall that obscures what lies within the Kilsby Gallery of the Long Beach Museum of Art: a series of 8″X10″ artworks that comprise Risqué {dirty little pictures}, the brainchild of artists Nathan Spoor and Jeff McMillan, and LBMA executive director Ron Nelson.

Salon Vertigo sketch

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.
