I had a lie-in after watching Oasis at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, I had a walk around the area before heading to Burbank Airport. It’s a nice area, Pasadena, and I stopped opposite the City Hall to draw that. Headphones on, listening to Oasis after the night before. I like being in the LA area, and wish I’d had a bit more time to maybe go back down to the museums and sketch more dinosaurs, but summer was nearly over and it was time to get back to work. I was genuinely sick of airports by this point. Still I am glad I got a good sketch of Pasadema before I left. After lunch, while waiting for my Uber to the airport, I also did s quick sketch of a fire hydrant which I finished off on the plane, another for the collection. And so we march on. I think I might post my sketches from between Sept 2025 and May 2026 nonlinearly, for a laugh. As long as i am all caught up by the time I leave for my travels this summer – better book that ticket, Pete – then maybe I can breathe this sketch-blog back to life. I need to take the time to sit and write about things, and that involves thinking and decluttering the mind, which has not been easy lately. It’s what I do when I am sketching, but is getting harder when I am at my desk at home. Maybe I need a new desk, we’ve had this one since, well my wife has had it since before we met so it is probably from the late 20th century, and looking worse for the wear. Right, my plan for 2026, get a new desk. No, not another guitar, not more football shirts, a new desk. And a new chair.
