Elvis at the Ebell

Book Soup hosted a reading and talk with Elvis Costello at the Wilshire Ebell last Wednesday.
Tickets included signed copies of his new book, Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, which looks like a good read.

"No photos allowed", so I sketched.

Wild Blue Yonder Crayola

Created for TAG's Saturday Spectrum link-up, which I happen to be hosting.
(Read my thoughts on this color over there).

I've done a few crayon colors and I can't remember where I've posted them -- Instagram maybe?
Anyway, I'll be posting them here now.

Road Gear Sketch: iPhone

Page 2 of my Road Gear Sketchbook:
I wonder why I didn't put this first in the sketchbook. I relied heavily on my iPhone. 

For navigating especially:

Live Music, Live Sketching

How long has it been since I've seen live music?
Was it last May at my high school reunion? That's just sad.

Severo and I got to see Cindy Lee Berryhill, and Freedy Johnston / Tom Freund / Wally Ingram at the Mid-City Music Lounge.
The tickets were only $10! 

Cindy Lee opened. I sketched her a bit.

Another TAG Meeting, Another Year

I should start doing this again at meetings.

This is from last year. I just discovered it in my sketch/people folder.
That's the back of Sally's head. I think up top it might be Ellen but not sure. Bad likeness, whoever it may be.

RIP Peter. We miss you!

Road Gear Sketchbook

The Sketchbook Project extended their deadline until March this year, so maybe I'll get this done without too much angst. I plan to sketch all the electronic gear that I used on my On the Edge US road trip last spring. This first sketch I think I did in May at my mom's house.
