My friend Philip, another artist, used to live in this building. I don't know where he is now he moved out of the city and I only saw him once or twice on the street when he was in town after that. The place, to be honest is a mess. They have done just enough repairs to be kept from being condemned. It still has interesting features and the apartments insider are HUGE and with lots of original details present.
Like always, I thought this was a total failure until about 10 hours in when it seemed to come together and work. I do the outlines first, then put in solid colours behind them and slowing fill in colour detail and shading. Last things added were the bush and light out front.

Damn, you're on fire! How do you get these things done so fast? Interesting story behind it. Pity about your friend just up and leaving. Seems you're on a roll. Keep going!
This is maybe my fave so far. It’s not all that fast, I have had no work until the last few days most of the summer, it’s been raining a lot so no long bike rides and not sleeping much. Since drawing calms me down I have been spending hours at day at it. Of course now it’s All I want to do!
