bike knickers!!!

but first, a drawing...



spent the day making up some bike knickers (articulated knees, seat padding, big pockets). started out by realizing i had bought the wrong type of fabric, but kept at it cause the stuff was cheap and i was bound to mess up royally. so i learned a lot on these ones, and they accidentally came out in my size, and with u-lock sized pockets, which is great! i;m wearing them out tonight for sure.





next time they won't be made out of polyester

bikes

taking a little drawing break to make a line of bike clothes.

i stumbled upon a fabric store with a huge sale and made out with 300
bucks worth of all sorts of stuff. trying to whip; up some jerseys, bags,
and bike knickers to cart around to local stores, i'm pretty psyched about
all the figuring out i'll be doing so soon...

snagged some giant paper rolls from my landlady to make patterns with,
a friend's bike clothes for a reference, and so many stretchy colorful yards
of fabric i could make a whole rainbow of weirdo custom jerseys. now i just
need a bike

tell any bikers you know! i'll be posting pictures soon.

here's trial one:

alla embarcadero

went to the ferry building to try to get a job at blue bottle coffee. got some cheap sunflowers on the way out and walked home with my yellow flowers glasses and backpack listening to the amelie soundtrack. what an awesome day


recovery day

who knew a day of driving after camping wasn't enough of a recooperation?
it took everything i had to get myself out the door today, and just that little bit more to get out my sketchbook



but i did
and then it was too cold for shading. i might do back when the sun exists
