MMMM, FOOD

October 8, 2010 bureau original, I like to draw, random

While waiting for some friends at Hotel DeLuxe, I used my extra found time and Draplin’s field notes to draw a picture. Of note were a crazy chandelier, a stuffy chair, and two dachshunds that arrived with a man who ordered a gin and tonic. His wife got a double.
