50th St Deli•Market, Seattle

The drawing for the wrap-around cover of my book, Now Where Was I? Coming soon!

Ravensdale Market

Drove out to the family property on Green River to draw, but over the years I've drawn every nook and cranny of the cabin and grounds and couldn't get inspired. On the way home I pulled across the street from the Ravensdale Market and sketched the store as several locals asked to see what I was doing. "I used to draw," said one old timer who looked like a down-and-out Santa Claus, "but I gave up and threw all my stuff away. You got good details in there." As he walked back to his car, he said, "Yeah, I used to do that."

Lake City Farmer's Market

So -- Dave had this great idea to sketch at the Lake City Farmer's Market. What a perfect day in the heat and sunshine! The blues band mugged for the littlest kids, heckled the hecklers, and played "You Got to Move." Gets my vote!
It was great to meet Dave, see just a few drawings (hope to see more later), compare favorite places, and see Gabi again. We agreed we'd post our drawings -- so Dave, now you're "it!" Looking forward to your sketch!
