Streets of San Francisco
black sharpie on paper
San Francisco 2003
I was driving through the streets of San Francisco one day in 2003 when I saw a billboard with something like this design on it. I just had a passing glance at it but I though gee, that would be fun to draw.
When I got back to where I was staying I sat down and drew this.
Just like that.
It's kind of cool. Maybe I'll draw it again.

Lèt me ask you something. What are you going to do in the future when every transaction we make is done on line and someone who you can't even talk to decides you can't do something?
Wondering outloud for a friend.

Making these drawings, this past week, has been all together liberating. I am taking a short break while I consider what colors to explore next.
That photo is me in 2014.

I don't speak German, but somehow, this song, sung in German, talks to me.

A hundred years and he's scored

But the meditations of his heart

Today's drawing.
When I finished this drawing I had ink all over my hands and rubbing alcohol all over my lap... and a new face staring at me.
Art is magic.

Let me show you something cool.
Of all my artwork my 8 year old son likes this style the most. He's also an artist and my biggest critic so in the spirit of playing to the audience I've starting a new one (pictured above) just for him. I'm a few hours into it and it looks pretty good so far. Adding the color takes some time and a lot of thinking so this piece won't be done for a while but in the mean I ike the mosaic just on its own.
Let me show you something cool. Look what happens to this drawing if you inverse the colors and show it next to it's own inverted image. Click to expand.
I wish I could make a big poster of that.
