I haven't seen such laid-back joie de vivre since I was last in the south of France. Those Austinians (is that what they're called?) sure know how to live.
While I was drawing the car, a very nice photographer came up and started taking photos of it. We introduced ourselves (he's Craig Snyder from New York and you know who I am ;D), traded email addresses and he sent me this link to his amazing HDR photo, which kind of blows my sketch out of the water. I mean, HDR, people!! Cut me some slack! He told me his wife was interviewing for a job. I hope she got it!
That RV with the "hey cupcake" doodled on it is pretty cute. Hehe. Blue and red is strong combination. However, I still find the rusted car lively, even if it's already, you know... rusted. Hehe. Was its original color white or orange?

The car is great and I would rather see a watercolor over an HDR anyday.. I love the composition and the use of double spread with the wire running through the front part of the car.
The cupcake trailor is wonderful too -the drawing and the idea of it!. Wish we had one of those in our town.

It looks as though you had a great week in Austin - and these sketches are wonderful! As usual, the colors just glow.
