Dear reader,
It has been a busy week. The rest of it is busy too. And after that … I will get to that soon. In today’s post, a SneakyArt Drop. Few words, but many lines.

The first thing I noticed after landing in California was the prolific signage. It’s everywhere. This to me is Americana.
Dear reader, what is Americana to you?
Royale with Cheese
“Do you know what they call a quarter-pounder with cheese in Paris?”
“They don’t call it a quarter-pounder with cheese?”
“Nah, man. They got the metric system, they don’t even know what a quarter-pounder is!”
Dear reader, have you tried it?

Dear reader, what is the best dumpling you ever had?

Have you heard Episode 58 of the SneakyArt Podcast yet? Today, I met George McCalman at his studio by the ocean in San Francisco. We talked about being artists, and being human, and how to be good at both things.
Then we drew each other and exchanged portraits.
Prints! Prints! Prints!
In case you missed the news, I launched a new print store. It has been less than a week and already prints are headed to Japan, UK, Kuwait, Iceland, Australia, Canada, and USA!

Tomorrow, I am in San Jose. Then, Chicago for a couple of days. Milwaukee. And back to Vancouver via Seattle. Lots of travel. Old friends. A wedding. Fun.
Your drawings with the signs are awesome! I'm always looking for stuff like that.
Love love love this illustration up top. Great to see you turn your hand from people to signs!
