I hope you all had a great Martin Luther King Junior day, and got some time to reflect.
I'd say more, but I'm still whooped from yesterday. And I've gotta get up early tomorrow... gonna go watch the Obama Inauguration projected on a big, outdoor screen at San Francisco's Civic Center Park. Holy history in the making, Batman!

Yesterday was packed! After all that beach stuff, we went to our friend Maria's birthday party. Incredible time... a dj in the living room, full-blown karaoke setup in the kitchen, a photo booth in the bathroom, and a cooler full of ice-cold jungle juice. Truly outrageous.
But yeah... so we ended up getting home around 3am. Then we had to get up at 7am to drive some friends to the airport. Of course, we couldn't get back to sleep afterwards. So by 8:30am, we ended up at Kate's Kitchen. It's a hot little restaurant in our neighborhood with delicious scrambles, bottomless cups of strong coffee, and friendly mom & pop-style service. You know it's a chill spot when you walk up to find your waitresses smoking a little morning herb before the early rush hits. Simply put, the place is everything a hungover stomach could ever want or need.
Today's sketch was from a brief doodling session I eeked out while waiting for our meal. Those are real coffee stains, people. I've been anticipating seeing the "Che: Part One," so I'm assuming that's where the whole "Viva La Revolucion" came from. I wanted to rock some more of these muligans, but our order was up in no time. Not that I'm complaining....

In case you didn't know, Andrew Wyeth passed away, today. The man was a fantastic American illustrator. If you aren't familiar with his work -- or that his son Jamie, and father N.C. -- I recommend it.

My friend, Mat (frenchpulp.com), lives in Lille, France, and commissioned me to create a piece on a blank skateboard deck. So I did this drawing on a large piece of sketch paper. It's, I suppose, my imagined fantasy of a French girl. She's smoking, of course.
Anyway, I'm gonna tear this up, then collage it down onto the deck. Afterwards, I'll paint into it a bit, but keep her portion of the skateboard mostly black & white. Her part of the image is very urban while, on the remainder of the deck, I've drawn a tropical scene of palm trees and rolling mountains. That's where I'll use the bulk of my color and painting chops.
Look for more pics as the piece comes along, ya'll.

I did this while playing some vinyl I liberated from my parents' collection. On the playlist:
Marvin Gaye "Marvin Gaye Live!"
Stevie Wonder "Innervisions"
The music got me to thinking about how, when I'm over here drinking my coffee, somebody "over there" is getting blown to bejesus. Their whole world is being bombed and their families are being terrorized by military powers bigger than a nightmare. And, sadly, part of every dollar I spend is going towards stuff like that.
Of course, it's not all doom and gloom. Just trying to keep myself aware.
Thanks for the tunes, Mom and Dad!

I just sat by our window seat, this morning, listening to music and noodling out this diddy. The playlist included:
Curtis Mayfield "Curtis Live!"
Digable Planets "Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space)"Mos Def "The New Danger"
"A lovely woman in motion... her hair was as dark as the night."
