it’s so grey in london town

it's so grey in london town

Sketched on a quiet corner of craven street, behind busy whitehall, the house where herman melville lived 150 years or so ago for like five minutes probably (had a whale of a time). It started raining while drawing this, so I ducked into a doorway, and then hightailed it to a nearby old pub, the ship and shovell, where I finished off the wash, washed down with some cold bavarian hofbrauhaus beer, served by a brazilian.

But this says London, doesn’t it. I think so.

    Pete,

    Lovely, lovely sketches. Yes, this does say London, very much so. I was so glad to see your posts, as I have been anticipating them since you left. I especially like this one and the one of the skyline. The window view made me meloncholy, but still well done.
