Chef Faces of Food

These were sketches of the Chefs, created for their specific product labels of a start up specialty food company.

They must not have been that good at being specialty chefs, since they are no longer in business. Professional illustration is always fun and labels turned out cool. A true advertiser - made the illustrations but never tried their food.

Friday at the Coffee shop

A busy day at the Windy Saddle today.

a few of the faces around the shop

She just ordered a "Skinny Latte". Ha. There is nothing skinny about her, nor the Latte she is about to slobber down.

Ol' Squinty Eye Bags sitting with....

Ol' Big Chinny and...

Ol' Dim Eyes.

This crazy critter rolled in and paced around for 10 minutes making everyone nervous. It is fascinating how one person's energy can change the vibe of whole place.
She found who she was looking for, but she made me want to leave.

Italian Piazza

I love the Italian Piazza to sit and draw. So much activity in one place.

A study of a cafe smoker in an Italian Piazza. they love their smokes.

The sell is in the final stages. Go for it.

And every Piazza has to have its crazy, pigeon feeding lady. Oh crazy, pigeon ladies.

A study of this guy I thought looked interesting.

A Golden guy

I am not judgmental, but every guy in Golden is like this, except me and my friends. And people not like this that I have not yet met, but have seen around.

Featuring such items as:

butt cut
chin fur or mustache. Yes, men still wear mustaches in Golden.
GPC (or other cheap brand) Cigarettes
Walmart work boots, cause he "works"
white athletic socks, cause he's "athletic"
"well fitting" demin shorts. That is a matter of opinion.
Fat-ass Coors belly
thumbs up to you, neighborini

Golden Neighbors

You'd think it was a train station parking lot, with all the cars / vans / campers parked around their (our) house.

These two "brothers" look "identical". Definitely from the same daddy...in theory.
