When it is dark and you are pouring your french press into a mug be sure the mug is big enough to take all the coffee.

The studio is cleaned up and I'm back to work experimenting with two new series of drawings. This pic is after my coffee was brewed and I was taking a break after working for about 4 1/2 hours. I'm not exactly sure how I even took this weird little selfy.

Part two of my saturday studio trip.

I arrived at Carpenter Street and came up to the back entrance.

I reached for my carabiner of keys… duh.

I had walked 2.5 miles and no keys.

Moral of this story — coffee first.

Sweet.

I have the most awesome coffee kit at my studio. A wonderful Cusinart drip pot and grinder. That means making the coffee for when I'm there is as much a pleasure as drinking it.

I captured this shot with my first cup before settling down to do some musing in my studio journal – the private one.

Oh the aroma.
