a hot and (unusually) sweaty day today, and I went to the hot city of sacramento, and stood looking at the river, so i decided to draw it. I'm not joking: a group of people, two women, speaking Spanish, and four children, speaking English, came up and, honestly, took a photo, they were all standing one side of me, the photographer stood the other side of me, and they took a photo of themselves with me in the foreground leaning over my sketchpad pretending they are not there. they didn't say a word to me, or even looked as though they were interested in what i was doing, but that was bizarre. If they wanted a picture of themselves with the river in the background but without the red-headed sketcher with the sour look on his face, there were no end of places they could have stood, but for some reason they chose to take it right where i was, with me specifically in between them. Hey, I'm from london, I could ignore them if they were in a gunfight. They soon buggered off. The second picture was drawn in the park around the capitol building, i was sat at the army memorial monument (i think it was), avoiding the sunshine. if you're from burnt oak you may think this building resembles the big flats on orange hill road (and montrose, and cressingham, and other places). I only just thought of that. Or you may not, of course (the palm trees for one thing, not really a burnt oak thing).
