After the Zine Fest in San Francisco I crossed over Lincoln Way and sketched a pub opposite Golden Gate Park, The Little Shamrock. I remember seeing this pub once ages ago when we drove past here, because it is pretty old – 119 years old in fact, according to the sign, though the date of founding means it’s probably 120 years by now. A hundred and twenty years ain’t bad! Not bad at all. So it was worth popping in to do some sketching of the interior. I must say that pretty much all of the interior was sketchworthy, a comfortable pub full of character. The people were friendly too, and the beer selection good. To my left were a group of people who from what I heard of their conversation (they were discussing performance art pieces at public galleries) they were curators at SFMOMA and probably somewhere else. Art is all around. I just hacked away at the sketchbook, and enjoyed my beer. I like the Inner Sunset.
awesome blog, gorgeous works, congrats!!
Cheers!
I really like your work! We’re heading to Barcelona (hopefully) soon & I’m glad I caught your post in “Freshly Pressed.”
Thanks! Hope you have fun in Barcelona
Use to love that place. Had many a pint there with my friend, the late, great Shawn Bates. We were both entrenched in the SF music scene then. She a KUSF DJ and music promoter, me a manager of obscure local bands. Good times, fond memories.
Thank you for bringing them to mind with your beautiful sketch.
Cheers! Places like this are filled with great memories, I’m glad they still exist.
I have read so many articles or reviews on the topic
of the blogger lovers except this post is truly a good piece of
writing, keep it up.
