Today was an odd day in terms of me sketching in public. Normally, I'm the ninja/covert/under-the-radar kind of sketcher in public, but when I dropped in to the All That Jazz Cafe, there was no where to hide, especially when Brent and Carl showed up to play an afternoon session of jazz. So I went ahead and sketched. Afterwards, Carl (the guitarist) came up to me and asked what Iwas doing. I showed him my drawing and he took it from there. He's a natural salesperson and started showing everyone in the cafe. If you know me, this is not my style, but I have to take lessons from this man. He's a natural born people person and self promoter. I've been guilty of not promoting my work in the past but after seeing this man operate, he's inspired me.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-top: 6px;">
I even got them to sign my drawing.</div>

One half of where the magic happens… or as many other people call it, a messy table. This place also doubles as my living room, dining room, entertainment area, and if need be, a place where a person could crash.<br />

Some time to kill before an appointment so I chose to sketch at the Oakham Cafe, Ryerson University. This student was kind enough to pose for me, but he did recross his legs a few times, which threw me off a bit.<br />

I remember the days when there wasn't any wifi in coffee shops and you could actually talk to a someone adjacent to you who didn't have their nose deep inside their smart device. Those days, unfortunately, are gone and Gabe and Marlow are my unsusupecting guest models for my brief sojourn at the Second Cup coffee shop. I tip my hat to you gentlemen and thank thee.<br />

I ate Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's place and Took the train out there. I was racing against the clock when I was drawing this and found I was able to skip over the knit picky things that I would normally worry over and just draw the main parts of the scene. Maybe I need to sketch with a clock on me.<br />

Today was a first for me. We sketched at the Mt. Pleasant cemetery. I
forgot how many great trees this place has. I used to have a few classes
here in my uni dendrology class. I believe the tree I drew is a Fagus
Grandifolia (American Beech).<br />

<span>Wwa: what makes you happy?<br />K: Seriously?<br />Wwa: yeah.<br />K:
OK. Right now, I feel happy when I give or contribute to other people
making a personal discovery they feel good about - whether that is
finding a Lego piece for Emile so he can finish his Millennium falcon,
supporting my actors though previews as we come to our opening night, or
seeing Emile's friends excited at the storm trooper costume we stayed
up till 2:00 a.m. making...too cheesy?<br />Wwa: nope.

Wearing black might
make me look artsy, but it is not good attire for sketching especially
without cover. Spent a few hours getting this down and burning my head.<br />
The great thing was this sight was so close to the Skydome that I heard
the roar of the crowd when the Jays did something good (they won over
the Boston Red Sox and we're one game behind. The rubber match is
tomorrow.)<br />

Today, as I have done many times in the past, I went after work to sketch library people. Midway through drawing a lady (see below), a librarian came up to me and asked me to stop drawing her because it was an invasion of her privacy. She also mentioned that library policy prohibits taking pictures of people… architecture is good. People, not good. Technically, I wasn’t photographing anyone.<br /><br />I understand the librarian’s issue with it, but 99% of the time I’m drawing people who are so engrossed with reading, fiddling on their mobile devices or sleeping, that they don’t realize that they are being sketched. Whenever I was “caught”, I’d show them what I did. For the most part they were flattered that I had drawn them. I’ve posted past drawing sessions from the library (all people) on my twitter feed and “likes” have come from the Bloor Gladstone Library account multiple times. If this was an issue, perhaps raising it then would have been the time to do it. I know the account is probably controlled by some tech guy somewhere else, but it gives me mixed messages. <br /><br />As an artist, this is how I interact with the world. I’m drawn to people and sketching them is my record of that time. Some people write in their journals or keep small momentos from a special moment. This is my way to remember. In the entire eight years I have been sketching in public, this is second time I’ve been asked to stop sketching a person. When asked, I have stopped and apologized. That’s all I could do. I won’t stop drawing people in public, but I guess the Bloor Gladstone Library will only be a place where I borrow books from.<br />
