One of our favorite places to visit and sketch: Goorin Bros Hats on College Ave. Hats for big and small people, stylish, and everyday. They recently bought their own factory, after only 100 years or so!
Here are two versions of a sketch I did in the shop, the first one in the original sepia ink and the second one colorized electronically. Which one do you prefer?
I'm not sure, but think I like the sepia-only one best!
Under the overpass at 4th St. is a tribute to the past indigenous peoples who occupied a village site for "approximately 3,700 years" and a current homeless resident. The murals of Native Americans are on the back wall. The cross-beams are inscribed by the following: WELCOME BACK WHERE ANCIENT PEDESTRIANS GATHERED OYSTERS AND ACORNS WHERE TRACKS CROSS SHELLMOUNDS WHERE HIDDEN CREEKS AND FREEWAYS FLOW
