Still exploring after 6 years in Austin. On a cloudy Easter Sunday, we ended up on the "wrong" side of the trail, but it resulted in a perfect afternoon.
This is a test sketch.

It was all about finding a new program, something cutting edge to latch onto.
I'm finishing off two much-needed days free from work by staring at my phone in a laundromat, as is my ritual.
Office with a view.
Homage to the Queen.
Office antics.
Temporary permanence.
