Ten years ago to the day, we moved to Davis. I remember, because it was the Fifth of November. We’re still here.
It was more than a month after we packed up and left London for California, staying with family in Santa Rosa until my wife found a job at UC Davis. We found an apartment in south Davis, and became Davis people. I started sketching Davis at a Sketchcrawl in December 2005 and while I took until the middle of 2006 to really get into sketching Davis, I haven’t really stopped since. Here are a few, sorted by year…
A decade is a long time. Seen a lot of changes, and a lot of stay-the-sames. The personal highlight of course was becoming a father in 2008, and my artistic highlight was I think my solo show at the Pence Gallery in 2011. So, I shall be popping open the Champagne and saying HOORAY DAVIS! (Actually, no, I’ll be having a cup of tea and playing Disney Infinity, but you know, you get the idea)
Neat collage of sketches!
Cheers! I kept it brief, just a few randomly from each year.
Happy anniversary and thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Love the collage. And my two P. Scully commissions are much admired. Thanks for documenting “my” town.
Cheers!
