Mission: Mission

Back from a quick drawing mission to the Mission. Head down around 24th or so and there’s a great patch of old Victorians. The structures here haven’t been restored out of their original character. Signs of renovation are everywhere – but you can still find plenty of carved bay windows and romanesque doorways.

I really enjoy sketching the old fashioned power lines strung everywhere. I’m sure there’s no reason to be nostalgic about power lines – but they do give your sketches a real urban feel :)
