A nice friendly place, with a largely expat and tourist clientale. A toy train, complete with lights, chugs away atop the bar. Vintage travel posters all over the walls.

I guess all the time on the road took its toll and the zippers gave up. I almost threw it out, but the missus had the brains and the patience to get the zippers fixed. It's good as new now.<br /><br />The contents of the bag when I sketched it: the Moleskine diary that I started in 2004, Moleskine day planner 2007, an A'Zone A6 sketchbook, red, black and blue pilot pens, a 20s pack of Benson & Hedges, Zippo lighter, Salman Rushdie's 'Fury', my wallet.Jojihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07446559104826941740noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-829203064084587833.post-54087987146983934632007-01-11T05:06:00.000-08:002008-11-12T18:16:33.726-08:00header for The Painted Chef<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MgxyrXvgqyM/RaY2drbUdoI/AAAAAAAAADE/Nc7i_L0Rt9g/s1600-h/chef.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MgxyrXvgqyM/RaY2drbUdoI/AAAAAAAAADE/Nc7i_L0Rt9g/s400/chef.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018758718252414594" /></a><br /><br />I finally got around to creating a header for <a href="http://thepaintedchef.blogspot.com">my food blog</a>.

I drew this on the back of a polaroid film with a felt tip pen. I didn't realise that two elderly matrons were standing behind me watching me sketch. When I was done, one of them asked me if I did this for a living. I said no. They looked at each other, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Good thing." And then they went their way.Jojihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07446559104826941740noreply@blogger.com0
