watercolour, pen, on main street santa monica. I fell in love with this area as soon as i arrived, full of nice little shops and restaurants and cafes and shit, and i liked the look of this place, so i sat opposite (beside the edgemar - not edgware - arts center) and painted it. I got a lot of smiles from people passing by, and it felt nice. Even the drunken bum (pictured staggering beneath the tree, there) wandered over and muttered some indecipherable gibberish. One guy though said that he owned a shop down the road and would really like to sell my drawings as postcards, that restaurant is a local favourite etc, people love that stuff, and gave me his email. Cool! Later that night, having watched some excellent jazz band in a cafe (as the only spectator) and eaten the best pizza in LA, and popped into the Galley for a quick (but expensive, again) drink, and walked down to the pier at night and watched the waves crash in, I went for (another expensive) beer at a local Irish pub on main st, finn mccool's. I was cream crackered, but still managed to draw the picture below.

Roshan (9.5.07 13:57) That's really cool about the offer to sell your work as postcards. Maybe you should draw a picture of Tottenham Best Kebab and see if they'll make a postcard out of that.... |
