So, recently I got an ipad mini… and I’m loving it… and so there are two groovy programs I’m monkeying around with… (figuratively… I have no monkey)…. Sketchbook Pro and Paper. Both apps are pretty darn cool… and I am having fun with each application’s unique features… I am posting a few doodles for giggles (and because of the monkey) … I’m not that good at present… but I am improving, I feel. Feel free to comment. Randie, here is made with Sketchbook Pro.

Randie got into paint over at my coffee shop. The coffee joint in Squid Row, Rollickers Coffee, is actually Rollick’s Coffee in Salinas. It is steps from my office and it is a favorite haunt…. my go-to joe coffee joint.
The reason for the mural is that the window was smashed (for the second time in less than a month) and the semi-temporary ply-wood fix needed some art! So I offered my services along with Trish Sullivan and her Hartnell art class… and we put our heads together… and made it happen. Here’s some of the action…
