A lunchtime sketch, after a bowl of soup. It’s that lovely Thai soup I used to eat all the time for a few years, that disappeared from campus for over a year but came back late 2010. It’s really good soup. I used to have to choose – eat soup, or sketch, because I never had time to do both. On this day, though, I made time. Anyway…this is South Hall, one of two such Halls (the other is North Hall, just to the north). It’s an old building, having been on UC Davis for a long time. (Hey, that’s so informative Pete! Well what do you expect, I spent my lunchtime eating soup, not reading local history). I didn’t have time to draw the other half of it though. Maybe some other time. (And I meant to leave the trees blank. In fact the soup told me to…)

I love the negative shape of the tree. I’m going to have to try that soup.
cheers! the soup is great. It’s at ‘chopstix’ in the new revamped MU.
Nice! Looks awesome Pete.
cheers!
It’s matter of, “I talk to the trees, but they don’t listen to me” ?
hey just wanted to let you know that I mentioned you and your awesome sketch-blog in my last post on ART-aid ! Thanks for sharing the great notes/ sketches

thanks katie! you have a nice site, lots of good info.
Hi Pete,
I am the graphics designer for the SRRC (inside South Hall); I am currently working on the Center’s brochure. I ran upon this piece and wanted to ask if I may have your permission to possibly use this — put it on SRRC’s brochure, webpage or even t-shirt. I think it’s a great piece.
If I cannot use it, I completely understand. Thank you.
