This was a quick sketch I did at a red light of a guy I see in my neighbourhhod collecting bottles. He is from Guangjo in China. I found this out by trying to talk to him in Mandarin and his wife told me they were from the Cantonese speaking part of China (at least she recognized my efforts as Mandarin). It has been fascinating to watch the progression of his 'tools of the trade.' In the beginning he just had a really big bag. Then came a baby stroller and those extending-gripper-thingies for picking up stuff. This year the latest addition is a garrish sombrero. At some point I want to try to colour this in with photoshop - holidays are coming and I am going to fool around with Illustrator and Photoshop (as well as catch up on some reading).

Ehkosit,

Migwec!
