The words of the Prophets are written on the...

Bean Around the World Coffee



No, i don't do crappy puns. That is the name of a coffee chain, this location on Granville was full of cool staff, two of which are drawn here, the woman in the extreme lower right foreground and the manager in the striped shirt.

Local talent


There are many interesting people that i was able to observe and sketch. Melriches is a coffee shop downtown that has this amazing cross-section of people and cool staff.
This guy is from Yorkshire and probably has had more coffee than he needs for several lifetimes, one high strung Mother scratcher.
I cannot remember all the details but he wanted Blair and the entire parliament brought up on trial and i think he was a conspiracy type.

Otherwise, really sweet.

Vancouver by Sketch


We were talking about Vancouver and after suggesting a few places for a friend to go, it made me nostalgic and I looked through a recent sketchbook all done in Vanny's 10,000 coffee shops.

Imaginary Cabaret and Spiegel cast

Old people in the front reading ancient books


These people were hard to believe. They had seats right at the front, before the show they argued like crazy while gesticulating madly at this canvas bag, which time revealed, was full of dusty books.

Books so dusty that the guy with glasses blew away what he could in a dramatic flourish.
I really thought they would have had pickled eggs in the bag.
