I didn't have much time, so I went straight in with pen, and scruffed about a bit to give it more contrast with a fat marker I lifted from \u003Ca href=\"http://chamonkee.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">chamonkee\u003C/a>. It looks more classical than my usual drawing, but I guess the building's partly to blame for that. \\r\n\\r\nBefore I cycled home, I nipped into the shop and ran into \u003Ca href=\"http://eruditebaboon.livejournal.com/\" class=\"lj-user\">eruditebaboon\u003C/a> and his girlfriend in the checkout queue, just as he was deciding he was surviving enough not to pull a sickie from work today. (Have you seen the \u003Ca href=\"http://eruditebaboon.livejournal.com/17849.html\">brilliant and utterly confusing comic\u003C/a> he made yesterday?) Oo, and some lovely photos of the \u003Ca href=\"http://europaconcorsi.com/projects/99547-IKMZ-Biblioteca-de-la-Universidad-de-Brandenburgo/images/1363081/slideshow\">stairway in the library of Brandenburg University\u003C/a>, thanks to a link from architect \u003Ca href=\"http://www.mbs-architecture.com/\">Robert Morrison\u003C/a>.\\r\n\\r\nNow I'm back and work and thinking how much I totally, totally miss my sister and can't wait to see her in just over a week. She's a die-hard Dolly Parton fan so I am in a cheesy mood and have \u003Ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMmYqRvSRS8&NR=1\">this song\u003C/a> playing at the moment. I really ought to draw Dolly next. \u003Ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1plvBR02wDs&NR=1\">Oh, here's another\u003C/a>... \u003Ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZlgDQbvo9I\">and one more\u003C/a>.","2009-06-16T13:00:00.000Z","lunchtime-sketch",[],"lunchtime sketch",1776628732773]
