The security guard came by and checked what I was drawing. He said if I'd been sketching the lobby interior he would have had to throw me out, but the cathedral alone was fair game. Very strange. So if you're sketching around downtown Montreal, make sure to only sketch beautiful old churches, never never draw glass windows or shiny chrome escalators.
This is done with water and Lamy pens again. My current favorite 'take anywhere' kit. The color is an interesting artifact of the scanner on my cheap Cannon five-in-one office printer. Everything useful in the studio is packed for a move, so I used this silly thing. It introduced these weird color shifts into the scan, which I chose to ramp up in Photoshop:) Neat hey?

This article cracked me up!
It reminded me of a time when being harassed by security guards when I was sketching inside a hotel lobby with glass and shiny escalators!
I've only used 'permanent' ink for a while but your sketches makes me want to start using non permanent ink again!
This is on fire!!
Very nice sketch.
very nice sketch! Lamy ink + water has also been one of my favorite combinations lately -- the unpredictability is so delightful.
haha, stupid guards, or stupid people who tell the guards to be like that.
I like how you discuss how the scanning process changes/evolves the image. Framed on the wall is one thing, scanned on the screen another. Different art forms, using the same "raw" material--a drawing.
