Mission Mission

This morning on the way to work I noticed this dude across the train looking up and back down at a notebook and figured he was drawing the train or something. A few minutes later he came up to me and handed me a piece of paper. “I drew a picture of you. Here.”

That was pretty cool. I mean, just a totally random thing to catch me off guard. I dug it, so I took a pic of him with a big grin and a thumbs up and when I got into the office I did a quick sketch. I didn’t have the disadvantage of a moving train though.

Sometimes it’s the little things.

It was so hot in the neighborhood this Saturday. How hot was it? Well, I sat in a window booth at a bar and tried to capture it by drawing various hot feeling guys as they walked by. It’s possible I embellished a bit for effect.

Drawings by Mike Hales, Jamaica Dyer, Doc Pop and me.

There’s also a good plate one that someone else has somewhere out there. If you want to come out and doodle next time check Doc Pop’s Tweets for the next alert.

I sat at one of those tables at Bender’s that has all those IDs in it and doodled a few of them. None of these look like the people they’re supposed to be. Who wants to jump in and help me get the rest? Especially if you draw women, I have a hard time with women. With drawing them.

Also, I like the way they used some kind of little hot poker to stick into the resin and obscure the ID numbers and some people’s personal details.
