Another Sketch, and Adventures in Mirvish Village

Another random drawing I did last night. Either he's a Navy officer, or a valet.


Now a couple of belated images from my trip to Toronto in April. Went to an area near Bathurst Street called Mirvish Village, because it's dominated by the huge, garish store named Honest Ed's, which I didn't get any pictures of. Behind the store is a nice little street full of galleries and interesting shops, such as The Beguiling, which is a truly interesting alternative comics store.

I walked into a gallery which seemed to have a lot of watercolours in it, and had a conversation with this man, Gabor Mezei.


He's a retired gentleman, and painter, keeping the gallery open for as long as he keeps enjoying it. He told me that the Frank Stella painting in the art book store across the road was worth $5 million dollars. So, I thought that was worth a picture, too:
