10.10.10 North Beach and Fleet Week

Yesterday, I had planned to tour the city and draw 10 landmarks, in participation of the One Day on Earth project being coordinated by Eyestorm Productions. As it happens, the night before brought a surprise birthday party, Fleet week, and the Italian Heritage Day in North Beach during Columbus Day weekend. Which in turn brought a very late start, crowds, and mayhem.


I figured I could at least get one done. This drawing began as a clever view through some awnings to the Transamerica Pyramid beyond. Before I could finish the Pyramid, though, the awning had been extended, which, of course, covered my view. Whaddya gonna do? Ya win some, ya lose some!
