A couple more from August, working in the Stillman and Birn Alpha book for the first time in a few years, getting used to that paper again. Summer sketching, that long hot summer passing me by, I went out to A Street to do some sketching. Not ‘a street’, but ‘A’ Street. I know, it’s confusing, I always have to explain it. Like when I was a kid and would have to explain to my parents that I wasn’t watching ‘a team’, I was watching ‘A-Team’, in fact it was ‘The A-Team’ which confused them further. “Which is it, ‘The Team’ or ‘A Team’? It can’t be both!” My parents didn’t talk like that. In fact The A-Team confused nobody, except me. I first heard of The A-Team when my cousin was telling me about it, when I was about 7, and I thought he was saying ‘The 18’ (he was from Norwich and they have a slightly different accent), so when I finally first watched it I always wondered where the other 14 members of the team were. Anyway, I was sketching on The A Street, I did the one below first on the corner of A and Third (they number the other streets here according to divisions, so this is Third, the next street up is Quarter, before that is Half and before that is Full Street), fully intending to go all colourful, but then getting bored, and the next day I drew the building above, The Belfry, which I have sketched before, I love its interesting shape. This was a month ago now. This week, the first of Fall quarter, all the students are back, and the place is about to be packed with bikes and excitement.
