Philadelphia Sketchbook



Here's the place near my hotel that I grab a Philly Steak from when I am in the city. I don't know that its a well known place, but it fits the bill and there is a steady flow of locals coming in all the time. It is decorated with faded boxing pictures and gloves and has a certain - Paulie Balboa would eat here quality about it.

I wandered around downtown on Sunday after church with my sketchbook and doodled some of the buildings and especially some of the art deco elements. Even some of the more run down buildings still had a faded hint of their previous grandeur - those are actually the buildings that captured my interest the most. I will be sure to upload those eventually, but here is a quick sketch of the Philadelphia Inquirer building.

Migwec,
Ehkosit!
