Amoebas and Zebras

The sidewalk of Telegraph Avenue in front of Amoeba Records and Zebra Tattoos is a great location for sketching.  I found a sandwich shop with bar seating that faced the street.  I ordered up some lunch and set about capturing the midday sun and scene on paper.  The light and shadows seemed to transform the already vibrant colors of the storefronts.  While sketching, I observed people coming and going.  Some were just too fast for my pencil.  Others, however, were not.  I was able to sketch the people that hovered about without any apparent purpose.  Some appeared to just pause for a cigarette break while others had made the sidewalk their camp for the day.
