That Down Beat Jazz

Published September 13th, 2007 in Field

I took my car in to be serviced this afternoon and it took several hours before it was done. They had a shuttle service that could take me within a five-mile radius of their location downtown, so I had them drop me off at Alvarado and Sunset in Echo Park, Los Angeles. There I spent the afternoon with a bagel and lox, a lemonade, and later on, an iced coffee. I sat first at one of the tables on the sidewalk and sketched the view:

Then later, at a table inside, I did this one:

About a year and a half ago, I did some sketching in this same location.

I really like the still-life-with-napkin-holder. There’s something sad and friendly and mid-century about it.

Thanks, Cheryl. I like that as a title — “Still Life With Napkin Holder.”

I’m a Storyboard Artist and Illustrator currently in Los Angeles, where I live with my wife, three cats, and several colonies of ants. My earliest memory is as a three-year-old, drawing a picture. About three decades later, the picture is still being drawn. It’s one I never want to finish.
