Still in Philadelphia. After a long day of work, I drank two beers at a bar/restaurant called The Khyber Pass. The significance of the bar is that it was the place I first saw Turin Brakes - it is fondly recalled as one of the most memorable days of my life. After the 14-block trek back to my hotel, all I wanted to do was sleep, but I remembered I still had to do my drawing, so I pulled out the sketchbook and my pen, and drew this "scary Halloween" lamp in my hotel room. (It reminded me of some of my drawings.)

This is a quick sketch from the window ledge in my hotel room in Philadelphia while I ride out Hurricane Sandy. It's all done in pen from the start.

I drew this in the car today on the way to dinner with friends. It's that time of year when half the trees are bare and the other half are almost bare. It's a line drawing in which I only took the pen off the paper twice for the tree part (even though the car was bouncing around).

I've called it "The Last Leaf" (because there has to be one, right?)
