Men enjoying technology

A couple recent sketches I've done -- one is of a man playing Solitaire on his iPad on a flight to Minneapolis over Memorial Day weekend. I was in awe of how large his fingers were!

The other is of two young guys on their laptops at Pound coffee shop on Capitol Hill, done earlier this afternoon. I felt like I captured the slouch of the closer guy really well, more so than the other guy -- whose proportions are a bit off (my fault, not his!)

brand new pot of zinnias caught my eye... now I have to plant them.

Sâuçá Restaurant

The brilliant Sâuçá fleet of food trucks recently opened a brick and mortar restaurant just around the corner from my apartment. And not only is it as delicious as the trucks, with an even bigger menu, but I can now mosey my way over there anytime I like. They took over a fantastic building that has a great retro design to it, with a beautiful overhang that covers the patio, making it a fun subject to draw.

P.S. Get the Fish Taco or Butter chicken with a side of Yucca fries. And ask for a few of their many tasty sauces to dip it all in.
