It’s not all chocolate cake

January 1, 2012

So, new years eve, no particular plans – just having a good time doing nothing. I decided I wanted to go out and find an awesome dessert. To eat and to sketch. To sketch first that is.

BUT. It was supremely cold, and many places were closed, and the will to make this happen got fainter the further from home. Ultimately we went to a humble cafe on the corner of St. Denis and Mount Royal. Chosen, not for the superlative chocolate cake, but for the corner location and the big windows. The weird color is my rendition of sodium vapor light. Not quite on target – but hey, it’s festive :)

Happy New Year!

    suitably urban new years for an urban sketcher

    I like the cloudy, reflective night sky

    I love what you did with the colour. Did you ever get any cake?
