Rosemead 2012
This drawing exists, somewhere.
I did this drawing a few years back. After I finished the drawing I took this picture of it with my cell phone and then I gave the drawing to my brother. Never a good idea but I love him and he liked it so why not. He actually had it framed and he put it up in his office at work. Prominently displayed. For a few years and then he left that job and had to clear out his office so he took it home. My brother owns a big house with a lot of piles of stuff in the attic and in the basement and in the garage and in closets and last year when I asked him if I could borrow the drawing so I could get a better picture of it he said he'd look for it and then after a day or so he told me he couldn't find it. It's buried in one of the piles somewhere he said and well, he can't find it.
So it goes my friends.
I know it's there somewhere.
Drives me nutz.
I'm glad I took the picture.

Paint tube #1
pencil on newsprint
Venice California 1975
I love finding old drawings. These are a couple of drawings I did almost fifty years ago. I remember drawing them quite clearly. I was living at the time with some friends in an old house in Venice Beach, California. I drew these one day sittling at the kitchen table.
I just took these photos today. The newsprint is about ready to fall apart but the drawings themselves look fresh. I'm amazed that we're all still intact.

Ok, its done. I added one more layer of lavender just because lavender is lovely.
Even Sean, my nine year old son, and harshest critic, likes it. So.. it's done.

If I remember right, this photo was taken sometime around 2013. I was in the CR at a gas station near downtown Los Angeles and decided to take a quick selfie..

Little Boxes - Pete Seeger
Colored pencil & black sharpie
Los Angeles 2019
One day, a couple of years ago, I was looking around the apartment for something to draw when my eyes landed on three boxes, stacked upon one another, in the corner of our dining area.
So I quickly sketched them in pencil.
It was an OK drawing and I still have it lying around here somewhere but after I had drawn the boxes in pencil I got out my sharpie and redrew them in ink.
The result was nice..

This got me stared drawing boxes. I drew boxes at home. I drew boxes at work. I drew boxes in my moleskine. I drew boxes.
I soon cut the stack down to two boxes because it looked better.

Time is standing still.
I don't know why, but it gives me tickle.

My 5 yo daughter asked for a drawing with pink in it so I drew this. She says she likes it but I think she likes her Legos more which is reasonable.
My brother, on the other hand, said he liked it more when it was unfinished and still had some white areas.
Maybe..
Luckily I took an in progress photo.
Time for coffee.

Black sharpie in my moleskin
Earwax cafe Chicago, 2000
Is the Earwax cafe still open? Anyone in Chicago? I used to go there and drink esspresso coffee and doodle in my moleskin.
Sipping a warm cup of coffee while just outside there'd be a raging cold midwestern blizzard. I loved Chicago.

Newly arrived kittens

Our neighbor's cat recently had a litter of kittens, and being as our neighbor can't afford to buy cat food, our house has now been invaded by five hungry kittens. The kitten energy is infectious.

Youth and innocence
pencil drawing
Culver City 1977
This is an old one. 1977.
I can still remember drawing it. I was living at the time, with someone special, in an apartment in Culver City, with a big double bed. When she came home that night she loved it.
I stlll have this drawing tucked away in one of my drawers.
And I still have my memories tucked away in my mind.
