New landscape Moleskine journal. Rule is I can only draw in it on the fly. No taking pictures and drawing later. I’m forced to draw fast and not care about making it perfect. Todd at Thai Hut February 15 2014.
The sushi chefs at Hana, 7th Ave and Missouri, our favorite new sushi place. It’s BYOB which is great because you get a lot of really good sushi but your bill isn’t insane because you had a couple glasses of wine. Because you bought your bottle at the cute French pastry and wine shop across the street! No cork fee. SUSHI! The people are really friendly and BUSY. Cuz they know what they are DOING. Very popular neighborhood place.
Breakfast Monday morning at Melrose Kitchen before work. I know, right? Phoenix doesn’t have a Melrose. But it does: one big one and lots of little ones. Melrose This, Melrose That. There’s one of those artsy arch things that goes over the road, a metal laser-cutout paneled thing that says Melrose, so we know where we are. This is Melrose. This is Melrose Kitchen, 7th Avenue north of Indian School, a place what serves some damn fine vittles in the am.

Ivan, our favorite sushi chef at Stingray, July 12, 2013. He works too hard. We say when we’re leaving, Take a break! Take a day off! And he says he will but I don’t think he ever does.

Tim, Bobby & Steven
Tim, Bobby, and Steven. Gus & Reg’s bday bbq, February 10, 2013. OptiFlow, my new favorite pen, on paper, color added with digital clone painting from photographs.
Steven was looking like something out of The Great Gatsby and I told him so and knew I wanted to draw him, which meant pointing my phone at him and going all rude and click click click. And Tim and Bobby too. Luckily no one was incensed or appalled, which is what I fear everyone will be when I start all up with my camera in their face, though that’s usually more with strangers. These guys here, if they even saw me taking pictures, had the good manners to ignore it and say nothing.
Who says there’s no more Gatsby? WHO??
