Antigua, Guatemala

Antigua, Guatemala. Your lovely cobble stone streets, beautiful colonial architecture, amazing weavers, making all of the beautiful arts and crafts sold all over, your culture. Antigua, its such a great place, a place that takes you back to another time, a place with so much history it almost feels as though you are on the set of a film. Your people are soooo friendly and inviting. There's so much color, from the art, to the nature, to the multi colored houses. And of course the food, from the fancy restaurants to the street carts, its all delicious :) 

Bushwick

Brooklyn, its an amazing place, so unique, diverse, interesting, and fun to draw :) 

The bbq's on the stoop, the one's on the roof tops, all the bikes, the artists, from the bands, to the rappers, to the dj's, to the painters, photographers, designers, all the different architecture, the music from one block to the next on a weekend, especially on a long weekend. Brooklyn is especially vibrant during the summer months, everyone comes outside. I remember the first time I saw a fire hydrant that was opened up so the kids from the block could play under the hot sun.
