26th sketch crawl

Published by akiko under excursions,sketches

… at the LA central library due to rain.  It’s been a while since I participated and it was a lot of fun with good turn out.

the grand rotanda area with Dean Cornwell’s murals.

children’s book area with big lamps and stuffed animals.

– last but not least, the women’s room was really cool.

It was great meeting artists, but also on exhibit at the library was the “world of William Joyce” and “Sketches and drawings of  Neutra”.  Both really inspirational.  To top it off, I went to the opening of “Curiouser and Curiouser: Inspired by ‘Alice In Wonderland” show at Gallery Nucleus with Vivian and Chito.

Out in New Orleans

Published by akiko under sketches,travel

Duncan’s been out in New Orleans working on Green Lantern, so I went to visit him.

I start with the typical airport sketch -

First night at New Orleans, we went to see B 52′s at the house of Blues.  They were awesome!  I’ve only seen them on MTV back in the 90s so it was really something to see them live.

It was rainy and REALLY cold the first several days.   But the whole city was building up to Mardi Gras and people and cops were literally everywhere!

saturn’s sky sitting by the service area.  The lots are almost empty and the once bustling service area was really quiet.
