Merry Christmas from San Francisco!

Here is the first batch of drawings made around town since I moved to this great city.  I have lots more exploring to do over the holidays so more sketches to come in the New Year . . . Happy Holidays folks!

• 1  The East Bay Bridge viewed from Emeryville (the 'Eye of Sauron visible in back)

• 2 Coit Tower & telegraph Hill from Embarcadero

• 3 Francis Ford Coppola's building at the lower end of Columbus Ave.

• 4 Haight Ashbury where the pungent aroma of weed still hangs in the air!

• 5 Lombard St.

• 6 In the Mission District

• 6 Sleepy Noe Valley-my neighbourhood!

• 7

• 8 Chinatown Gate

• 9 Grant Ave.

• 10 Intersection of Columbus & Broadway where the Beats meet the Red Light.  Apparently 'The Condor' is the site of America's first Topless Dance . . . a site of historical significance. I drew this from the top deck of 'Vesuvio' where Jack Kerouac used to drink.
