Portlandia

I got in some sketching over the Holidays up in Portland-one of my favourite American cities.

 View from the hotel window downtown

 The famous food trucks of Portland

 Cameron's Books-great for 2nd hand treasure hunting!

 Portland apparently has the highest number of strip clubs per capita!

Just visible behind The Living room cinema is 'The World's Greatest Bookstore'- Powell's Books

 The Art Museum had some impressive Greek sculpture in their 'Body Beautiful' exhibition

 The Modern Art section had a great range of sculpture; Hepworth, Moore, Rodin, Lipchitz

 And last but not least the people of Portland

Happy New Year 2013!

Happy New Year all. Here's a great sketch I received from an old animation pal in Paris, Mr Boris Jacq who spent Christmas curled up in front of the fire with my Gesture Drawing book.  I had some enquiries before the Holidays about purchasing copies so here's a reminder to email me at the address in my Blogger profile for more info.
