What an evening of music! Went to the Pick-Staiger Concert Hall on Northwestern’s campus to hear the Contemporary Music Ensemble perform music by Steve Reich with Mr. Reich performing in the first piece, Clapping Music, accompanied by Co-director Alan Pierson and members of the ensemble. Also performed, City Life, and the trance inducing Music for 18 Musicians. Perfect to draw along with.

  

Back working in a Seven Seas Tomoe River Paper sketchbook. Brought along the usual suspects, a couple fountain pens gassed up with Platinum Carbon ink, and the full range of greys by Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens.

   

Recent addition to the dinning/cafe scene. Has good affordable food, including better baked goods tha the corporate alternative, coffee and tea and beer. Good daytime and nighttime lighting. Wifi. Comfortable seating for groups, communal arrays, and individuals at tall tables, lower dining tables and lounge seating. I’ve been hanging out here to much lately. The overhead potted lights create great light-dark contrasts. Varied crowds. Faber-Castell Pitt Pens of all sorts, different white pens and several fountain pens all using Platinum Carbon Ink. Strathmore a Tomoe River Paper.

Just some heads. Some witnessed and drawn on site. Some started in public and finished later. Some are from sculpture. Some just made up. Various inks on various sketchbooks.

Head studies done while traveling on public transit or in public spaces. Drawn in ink.

  

Bomber hats, fur lined hoodies, ear muffs, ski caps, high collars, and scarves upon scarves challenge one to show up to work, to the Opera, or a dinner date, with hairdo intact. No such problem for bald dudes like myself. Ink drawings from out and about on various sketchbooks and ledgers.
