Stationary in the city


These little guys were an off-shoot of my love for drawing. Each is a scene of a less than remarkable vignette in the city, but a very real little portrait of my daily surroundings. There's a view from Maxfield's on Dolores at 17th, on the right is a street on Potrero Hill with a soccer ball rolling past at 20mph. Also in the collection are scenes from the Duboce over pass under construction and rooftops and power lines as veiwed from my back stairs. One of the best things about being a designer, I always thought, was that I got paid to draw and colour, but now it's really rare to actually put pen to paper. Pity, isn't it?
