Some more Stillman and Birn Sketches

Image
Still loving my Gamma series Stillman and Birn sketchbook.  A few more: Another sketch in the Denver Public Library: Dining room chair (in the living room).  A late-night session. Sketched from  the Library, the Denver Skyline. This was a watercolor sketch, but I wasn't too fond of the way it came out, so I put it in grayscale in Photoshop. At the Laughing Latte in LoHi A bonus Moleskine sketch of the Dan Ostermiller's larger-than-life Scottish Angus Cow and Calf  in front of the Denver Art Museum.

More marker sketches from my Stillman & Birn sketchbook.  Can't get enough of either right now. Denver Public Library This building just demands to be drawn, what with looking like one of those cities you make from blocks as a child.  It's a Michael Graves, but it's not so much kitschy to me as it is just elegantly simple, but still with great details. Starbucks inside the REI flagship store in LoDo. Yeah, I didn't even go into the REI.  The building was built in 1901 and overlooks Confluence Park.  A cool space.

One of these things is not like the other

There's two ways to interpret that title.  One of these sketches is not a coffee shop.  And one of these sketches was done with markers.  Um, that's it. Ziggi's Coffee, Westminster, CO: Reference room in the Denver Public Library: Another Starbucks for the pile: Bonus video: Linda took a short vid of me sketching in the library.

At the Dentist (fun title, right?)

I'm sorry to those of you who clicked away after reading this.  For those that stayed, it's just waiting rooms y'all. Linda had a toothache and we went to the dentist, and I drew his office: He referred her to a specialist for a root canal (yikes) so I drew that office the next day. I was spotted by one of the folks there and before I knew it my book was being passed around to the whole staff.  Linda was the one who really needed the attention though. BONUS Moleskine sketch: Went to get my Denver Public Library card at the Woodbury Branch yesterday, and drew this whilst there:
