fort rosecrans national cemetery

The SDWS paint out was at the Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in Point Loma, California. I have passed it many times on the way to the light house but never stopped. It was a good place to visit today.

Only 4 of us were there. It was very windy and cold so I only stayed a few hours. This is one of my sketches and a few pics as well.

The view from my kitchen patio.
The sky is kind of gray. Blue gray.
It's already rained once this week and we expect more.

Lots of green.

I've been reading the book Superfoods RX by Kathy Matthews, Steven Pratt

Sandwich shop, Poway

This is the sandwich shop across from Old Poway Park. I like it because it has Betty Boop standing out front. The page came out muddy because I tinted the paper an off white before I worked on it. But really...that's just an excuse for a lousy sketch painting.....

Starbucks, Encinitas, California

Hollywood Undead

Hollywood Undead and 91X were in my store today. 
There were a lot of kids waiting to see these guys.

The store was pretty busy because of it. I got to take some pics and I also got a 91X key chain. I really liked all the excitement.

Meet up

I had a "meet up" today and made some new friends in the process.

I joined Steven Sloan and Rachel Kopel at Grant's in South Park for about 3 hours of sketching and art chat. Steven is an artist, book maker, eraser carver and street performer! He brought a few of his recent books which he let us look through. His wife is also an artist. Rachel is an artist and was heavily involved with mail art in the past. It was great sketching and talking art with these two talented people!

My sketch of some homes in the area.

journal entry 03-18-2009

The DVD, How to Draw a Bunny is about the collage, and performance artist, Ray Johnson. They say he was the founder of "mail art". He would paint and draw so much that he started sending pieces of the work to friends and family. He was a pretty strange character. When he sold his work he would ask the collector what they wanted to pay for the piece, then he would make a counter offer, then wheel and deal before letting go of the work. He didn't paint very much, his work consisted mainly of drawings and collage. Other times he would "put himself INTO the work".

I made marcus fat in the last panel because that's what I do when I am a little bit mad at people.
