Seeds in my sketchbook

[avram]

Spent the evening at Ground, as seems to be usual. Hey, the coffee’s cheap and the seats are comfy.

This latest round of sketches has given me the seed of an idea for a series of drawings or paintings. Not the full idea yet, just the seed.

Heh, I can practically hear the voice of the female--I know I've seen that type before. Were these based on fellow coffee shop denizens? :-)

Nah. The top one, the woman on the cellphone, was based on a photo that had just been hung in the coffee shop (which doubles as an art gallery). Loosely based — the photo showed a women who’d just spilled something on herself, and had her mouth open in shock. I went off in a totally different direction; my sketched woman doesn’t even look like the one in the photo.

The guy with the beard, I dunno where he came from.
