This sketch was done in the few minutes while I waited my turn at the hairdresser’s.

pocket park
Lauren and I had lunch in a little park in Beverly Hills; apparently we were in an historic cactus garden.

I actually don’t mind doing laundry, so I guess I can risk parking here 😂
illuminatin’
Where am I, Narnia? I wish! For some reason my mother-in-law’s house includes a lamp post in the middle of the back lawn. I guess it’s a good place to look for your car keys.
historic gatehouse
Built in 1929, the guard house of the historic Adamson House sits just inside the entrance gate. I’d love to have a peek inside, but it’s not open to the public; it’s the private residence of a State Park ranger. Is it full of spectacular tiles, like the main house, I wonder?
sketchy business
I met up with Urban Sketchers Los Angeles at Santa Monica Pier yesterday; it was much easier to sketch the seated sketchers than the tourists walking by!
at the tech store
After many months without a working cell phone — it wouldn’t hold a charge for even a minute — I finally got a new battery in it today. Voila! I can unplug and it stays charged! New life for the 8 year old phone! Certain friends are going to be very happy about this. You know who you are.
wild hives in the city
It’s fun to come across living organisms in unexpected places.
muffler man
I recently read this article about the quirky US roadside phenomena generically known as Muffler Men, though any individual giant might advertise something other than car parts. Apparently they are now very rare, but we have one in our town. Malibu’s version, erected in the late 1960s atop Frostie Freeze, originally held a massive burger. He was re-styled in 1988 to be La Salsa Man; you can read more about the conversion here. Now he’s missing his serape and tire sandals, and the store below remains empty because of septic tank issues. I wonder what his next iteration might be? Plumbing Man?

Even a long wait is tolerable when you have a sketchbook.
