Dip-dip-dip-da-dip-da-dip-ramma-lamma-ding-dong-Dive...

Shooting pool at Vasmay is like shooting pool in Tijuana (except without my mom). The table is jacked, the sticks are crusty and bent, and you gotta drink bottles ‘cuz anything off the tap will likely give you histolytica or gonorrhea.

But they’ve got a great juke full of dirty old punk, original electric guitar god rippers, and rarified doo-wop oldies that growl back and wink at you. The barmaids are lippy and generous, and somehow I always end up sharkin games and meeting interesting oddball people there.

It’s a very love hate kinda place that always calls me back.

Last night met up with a friend for a supposed single beer and a game and ended up staying out, sketch party posse came round and we lit proper mischief, fired off countless games, and etched evolving obscenities on the chalk board outside, along with the board indoors for games in line.












Too many beers and double vision… just like every Tuesday oughta’ be.

Random Curiosities…

Latest obsession... Japanese Coke candy... thank you JAS Mart for filling my sodaless life with fizzy love.


Some haphazard sketches...
South Beach Miami... no pencil... just ink.

Nikki Beach... the only time it's tolerable... when it's EMPTY!!!!


Glorious doodlepass with Nancy... wanting to start a whole new sketchbook reserved for this game alone.



Sketch for a possible painting... very rough... skeletal... drafted off of some of the below...




Sometime good things DO happen in bars!!!...
Cocktail napkin, bic ballpoint pen, and some sort of lager drips.



This theme has been running long with me...

More sketcheeez up close... my ever constant motion...

Jubilation!!!... posed for me beyond what is physically possible... sometimes you gotta shift your sight to better focus the true nature of things.

An Oracle of Empyrean Light…

“Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

"Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
