Back in 2004 after Polar Express wrapped I went and wandered around central Europe for a few months… drawing and painting in a little water color book with some Japanese water pens and a set of guache.

I drove on out to Alhambra this weekend to check out Kid Koala’s music to draw to, a little gathering of sketchbook and music fans.  I loved it, sat there for a few hours, drew, drank lemonade and stuffed down a few of those trendy fresh baked red velvet cup cakes.  Took a few minutes to draw some of the kids hanging round.

A few nights before I left Burbank late after a few drinks on the patio to go draw at the now re-located late night salon…  the theme; tokyo pop..

and a little in progress of those two still unfinished paintings… the city is starting to suck.. need to loosen it up again.

First, a painfully slow cityscape from angels flight down in the historic core of downtown LA facing east. (work in progress)

Second, a reworking of an earlier painting i hadn’t gotten around to posting yet.

Third, 7 little character drawings from the friendly fires’ show at the troubadour last night while I waited at the bar for friends to show up.
