occupational hazards

This started as a sketch of a guy doing his laundry and eating a Dairy Queen meal. I changed the background to tell a different story.

Wimberley Cafe

'The Square' in Wimberley, Texas. Locals and tourists both dine here. As a small town, the choices of restaraunts are limited (TexMex being the favorite). This cafe serves breakfast and lunch with the typical diner flare. With great pride, they also carry a nice selection of Blue Bell ice cream.

the Post Office #4

Brushpen, Photoshop, and mini moleskine sketchbook knockoff. Fourth in the series of the Wimberley Post Office.

berries

I don't know what kind of vine this is, but I stopped and drew it. The berries are so cheerful. The vines are wrapped around an old primrose jasmine that has been cut back often through it's lifetime. This is on The Square in Wimberley.

photo reference

The pic I snapped for the drawing below. Yep, I lavishly embellished the drawing, with relish!

dining out

When I walked past this window early last Sunday morning, I knew I had to draw this scene. I had my camera, so I walked up to the window and pointed the camera here and there, casually snapping photos of this and that. I thought it would be really odd to have a total stranger taking pictures of you while eating your breakfast. It would have been out of the question to sit there enjoying your meal while a stranger stares at you while doing something with a little black book and a pencil. Anyway, I got the shot and did the drawing without any excessive drama.
