Highlights include various drawing expeditions with Matt Jones, flying down to Venice Beach to meet Evan Spiradellis from JibJab, shaking Pete Docter's hand and Ralph Eggleston's shoulder, discussing triangles and circles with Don Shank, lunch with Noah Klocek, coffee with Andy Grisdale and drinks with Elvis Christ's denizens of the deep!
I'll add to this post in time but for now perhaps drawings speak louder than words. A huge thanks to Space Dog Books for inviting me over & my wonderful host Matt Jones. It's my last night in the city so I must leave now to prepare my assortment of Spandex outfits......

lol "hat shaped like testicles"
Better than having testicles shaped like hats I guess!
Your drawings are so inspiring!! Great work!!
This post knocks my socks off. So nice. These sketches capture the feeling perfectly.
Id be wrong if i didn't say DAMN!
The sophistication and whimsy, so good!
This is a wonderful set. The linework is both descriptive and casual, elegant. Envy!!
You have some wonderful work. I particularly love the WAR post but everything is great!
Thank you!
I had a few personal e-mails about materials and technique which may be best to answer here:
The brush pens are Pental and the the pen work is Tombow. The sketchbooks are either Seawhite of Brighton or Daler Rowney.
The pens are pretty cheap and eventually the ink will fade, although I found some drawings from 10 years ago which still seem ok. The drawings are shit, but the ink seems ok.
I never use photographs unless it's a place I can't visit and it's a paying project.

I recognize few places we've been to on our first trip to SF together. Those are superb, really. I can't wait to see what you've developed for the interactive book. I will enjoy it hopefully on my Ipad soon, by the fireplace, with a glass of Cognac.
so, when are you moving to SF? ;)

Stef- Everything looks perfectly set up for me to move here in 2048
You forgot to count the cost of how many BEERS were drunk while making these drawings!
wow! bravo! true skill, sir.
Love these. Been in SF for six years now and I used to take the J up Church everyday. Now I live a few blocks from Buena Vista Park.
You totally captured those two parts of the city for me (and one of my favorite houses). And in a sketch no less. So awesome!
Wow! Amazing, love your line work, the last page in a pub is fantastic
Living in SF for a couple of months now, you work captures the city succinctly. Your line is alive and throbs with inspiration.
Nice photos.
Very beautiful. So, confident on your pen work.
Vesuvio on Columbus? Sounds like a place I've been to but can't really remember...
Beautiful sketches!!!

Hi monster, not been here for a while, it's shocking.
are those lines first lines and real. this is fantastic stuff. absolutely brilliant,
Can you post a little video you drawing a simple scene. I am amazed at the confidence in every line, the perspective is soooo accurate, architecture, pub scences, brilliant.
I am in awe of the simple accuracy of the perspective.
These are insane. I don't contain anywhere near this level of patience for detail in my sketches, but seeing these makes me wish I did!
San Francisco looks brilliant from your pen. I'm in love with the victorian house drawing - This post makes me miss that city!
These are so wonderful, your work is inspiring - I'm going to go out and draw RIGHT NOW.
