Kids were sick, and we were feeling under the weather, so no postworthy sketches from today.
So, I decided to dig out some old sketchbooks from the basement, to see if there might be some interesting past ones to post. So here's "From the Archives #001".
To my utter surprise, I discovered a sketch I have no recollection ever doing... and it was a bizarre, surreal moment when I saw it, as it's EXACTLY the same as my post from October 12 this year. Seven and a half years separate the sketch on the left from the right. Same view, same composition, same angle, same car parked in the same spot, same mechanical equipment on the roof, same angle on the damaged bollards, same somewhat awkward distortion on the perspective towards the left of the building... Actually, less detail on the new one (ok, it was lunch and I had to get back to work)... the only difference is that I had not become a regular at that restaurant, and hence the view held no meaning.
There's one more within the same month with a similar story... again, no memory on my part... I will post next time I have the chance.
Weird...
This is happened to me with my writing. I wrote something, filed it away, and then forgot where I put it, rewrote something very similar and then found the old piece again.
