Convocation at UW

Last weekend we attended the 2014 Convocation Ceremony at University of Washington where our youngest son is starting his college career.  I was able to sketch the events of the day. When I went to undergrad I don't remember an event like this.  Nor do I for graduate school.  So we encouraged our son to go to this.  We wanted him to get his and our money's worth...get the full experience of attending the University!

Ada's Technical Books and Cafe'

Last week I went to Ada's Technical Books for coffee and in particular to sketch the place.  I have visited this cafe several times but am usually there to do some thinking or prepping for a class.  This time I wanted to be sure to plan time to sketch there.  It is an old bungalow that has been converted to a bookstore and cafe'.  To see more about sketches on unusual coffee shops in Seattle check my blog on the USk International Blog .
