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.

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.

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.
Hot Pokers?

More doodles inside this post.

ID_Foster83
This guy’s ID had expired in 1983. He looks a bit like Gad-About-Neighborhood Cody Frost. But he’s not, this is.

ID_LongFace

This dude’s hairdo was at least as neat as it is in this drawing.

ID_EyesMan

This guy had amazing eyes that I totally didn’t do justice.
