My godmother made alcatra, which is one of the few dishes involving beef that I will always eat when presented to me. It's absolutely spectacular and one of the best parts of #Portuguese cuisine. It also reheats as leftovers magically well. #cozinhaportuguesa #petacansuckit
The first sour ale from @hermitagebrewingsj that I really enjoyed; a "Pinot Grigio" inspired #beer with a crisp and tart finish.
Well, the evening started off well. #wineflight
#sketchbook , #throwbackthursday 2000. I went through an initial period in the late 90s/early aughts where I liked drawing people lounging in inscrutable chairs with strange armatures. This was a light amount of pencil, they're mostly drawn straight to the page with a repeater graph and or brush pen. . . . #art #drawing #illustration #surrealism #sketch
Thrills and excitement at the family citadel, laying bones. #dominoes
Weird #doodle inspiration. I had a bottle of @ruhstallerbeer Napa valley Dirt (#ale with grape must) and it made me think of my favorite @aliceinchains record, also called "dirt". This in turn led me to put a small amount of dark paint on the label, leave the logo, and sketch original AIC vocalist, the late #LayneStaley, on it. . . . #art #drawing #popart #grunge #drawing
#sketchbook , June 2019. Based off of a #reddit user reference, it's #Pentel brush pen and Pitt marker, with a #Prismaapp filter.

My love of turmeric...may have gone overboard on this one. A small cut of pork, served with tomato/onion/mushroom and a near whole head of garlic. Pretty quick to make. #foodporn
A great game. Congrats to the #uswnt for giving Spain a good whatfor. Big ups to Rapinoe especially. . . . #soccer #futbol #fifa #espusa #fifawwc

My hair is starting it's comeback tour.
#sketchbook June 2019. It's (sort of) #portuguese musical legend #CarlosParedes (it's not a spectacular likeness but it is based off of watching a bunch of his live footage on YouTube, most of which is a fairly low fidelity). I'm very picky about #Fado singers, but I generally love #guitarraportuguesa , and Carlos is one of the greatest if not the greatest proponent of it. . . . #art #drawing #musician #guitarist #doodle #sketchoftheday #desenho

#throwbackthursday to quite some years back, to a #mixedmedia #abstract #painting called "anomie + bonhomie" (yes, I was listening to a lot of #scrittipolitti at the time). . . . #art #contemporaryart #emergingartist #408creates #artscene

"dark metal orrery" is now finished and published on my @society6 account, Its available on a significant number of the different printed formats that they have available (including art prints, phone cases, housewares, etc). Initially having come out of an idea for three paintings that I worked off and on the last couple of weeks, I'm not sure if this is one of those three or an offshoot. This actually started with a series of experiments using metallic ink on a black surface last year on the floor of #localcolorsj and just took this long to evolve into something else. . . . #art #abstractart #contemporaryart #emergingartist #408creates #
#sketchbook 2018, now 2019. Took this #workinprogress #drawing from last year of #Filter frontman Richard Patrick. It still has a way to go, but the addition of color and tone isoving things along. . . . #art #illustration
#sketchbook June 2019. "Geez, this octopus bisque is goddamn fresh!" Done with a #lamy ballpoint and some @prisma . . . #art #drawing #Doodle #sketchoftheday
So I got a travel sachel from @maxdehart , and now it's almost always in my Chrome bag when I leave the house...just in case. #artsupplyporn
Served with dinner, I broke open this bottle of #esporao reserva from 2012 I'd been storing. The last time I did that, the bottle was a little bit vinegary and had not aged well. This one however did not suffer that fate and is quite nice. #wine #vinhoportuguês
Initial published iteration of my #portrait #illustration of Sonia Tavares, frontwoman for @thegiftofficial . They are a remarkable outfit (and if they are good enough for @brianeno they are good enough for just about anyone). #mixedmedia on board, digital post-torquing. Available as a print on my @society6 account; will also be in @deviantart and @redbubble shortly. . . #art #drawing #portuguesa
A small (it's a single dram sized serving) bit of the best #glenfiddich scotch they've made (an IPA cask finished bit that's the right mix of highland brightness with a very smooth finish).
Went to get a coffee downstairs, ran into @cadoeira who was about to do an impromptu solo set at Frascati. Now I have good coffee and music in one spot. #DTSJ #livemusic #mpb #bossa #sofadistrict
#tbt to a #drawing / #illustration of #french auteur #JeanLucGodard. This was from 2004, with some #Prismaapp based tweaks in 2019. . . . #art #sketch #portrait #frenchnewwave

Revisiting this #drawing of one of my favorite people from my @deviantart days, @jngaio . She's immensely talented herself...go buy her #art, and see her shows (if she's good enough for the Melbourne Fringe Festival, she's good enough for you). Just needs a lot of work to get to where I wanted to be, but so far I haven't bolloxed it, even if I drew this on far too thin paper stock.
Today's #sartorialism / #ootd includes some of my my most garish #footwear (because I can pull this ridiculous shoe cacophony off).
A #workinprogress #illustration of #jazz #Trumpeter @mathiaseick ...this one will get finished and made into a print, as I'm finally happy with the overall direction of it. . . . #art #drawing #musician
#sketchbook June 2019. #Trumpeter @mathiaseick
Back home in #DTSJ , so went and grabbed some comestibles and some organ funk #jazz with the @wilblades trio.
And now for something.... slightly different.
Last night I was in LA, and ended up at The Varnish (a speakeasy inside of Cole's, itself an LA institution) where a super sharp #jazz trio laid it down. On a lark I asked them to at some Bill Frisell, which they did with remarkable ease...possibly because the bassist was #DavidPiltch , who has actually played with Frisell...and Holly Cole, and Ana Moura, and KD Lang, and Willie Nelson, and...you get the idea. I've loved his playing for decades and never would have thought serendipity would hit so hard on a random LA Wednesday night.
When in LA... #zeruchontour #charlesbukowski
This is wicked ok. #zeruchontour
Almost all my underwater shots were useless...but I don't entirely care because it was pretty awesome down in this part of the Pacific. Parrotfish everywhere... also of note, the pixel 2 is indeed ip67 waterproof. #zeruchontour
#sketchbook June 2019. Since it's a #zeruchontour kind of week...let's read about, listen to, and #draw around the greatest #hiphop group of all time, @atcq . #awardtour is one of their greatest cuts anyway, and I have many fond memories around it. . . #art #drawing #traveldoodle
