PDX Union Station

 

A simple marker + watercolor sketch of Union Station in Portland, that time when I rushed to the station in an overpriced Lyft, only to discover the train was 90 minutes behind schedule. Well, like all delays it was a great excuse to sketch. I tried out some new calligraphy markers I got from Cargo (my fav store in PDX) and eavesdropped on some great conversations in the building's smoking area: folks in town from afar, crossing paths on long journeys.

King Street Station

I have been meaning to visit this revitalized Seattle landmark since the construction scaffolding came down last fall. I was not disappointed. The classical organization so rigid, the space bright and the plaster work immaculate.
