Kayaking on Lake Union

Quite possibly one of the last days of kayaking before winter sets in around the Pacific Northwest.

On Lake Washington

I took a couple of photos out on the water last night... while kayaking.

This week's 15 minute sketch challenge..."Happy to be here"

Having all the beautiful sun and hot temps over the weekend and into this week, I didn't stay at home much or concentrate on anything other then spending time in the sunshine, riding my bike and kayaking almost every day. So, today was the first time I had to catch up on a few things... like the sketch challenge, which reflects the last few days of great sunshine! Hope you dig: "Happy to be here"

More Graphic Novel sneaks...

Three pages of sketches from the early part of the graphic novel. I just started the 4th volume of sketches for the graphic novel and will crank on this volume for most of August,... in between the bike riding and kayaking... LOL! Hope your summer is going well!

Kayaking last weekend with work buds...

Another weekend kayaking with friends from work. We started out at Aqua Verde on Lake Union in Seattle and headed over past Gas Works Park to Fremont under the I-5 bridge deck where we did a big turn around and fought all the power boats who just came out on the lake. It was a beautiful day. Afterward we all went for food at Tawon Thai the over to the university district for some Bubble Tea. After that we stopped by the old Saint Marks Cathedral on Capital Hill to check out the architecture of the place. Great stuff. Here's hoping the rest of the summer is as good as this start. Summer solstice in two weeks at Fremont!

Sunday Kayaking!

Wow, what a busy weekend.
I had a physical at my doctor's office on Saturday. Worked on new art for my graphic novel. Went to a friend's birthday party.
Sunday I had some errands to take care of after waking up to a huge allergy attack. Swollen face, itchy mouth and nose, lots of snot and sneezing...
Then there was fun kayaking on Lake Washington with my friends Karisma and Jamie. We went out for Thai food after three hours on the lake and Cedar River. I met a very nice woman when I was coming out of the river. Thanks for the sweet smile Amanda and the nice conversation.
More art next posting and it will be sooner!
