Lots of Details = Longer Lunch

One of the perks of working at MindActive, well other than the free beer, is the pool and lounge area on the roof. Fashion Square Lofts is in a pretty scenic location downtown. I have the St. Louis Dispatch building on one side and the City Museum on the other. I brought some friends to the roof for the 4th of July and we could fairly see the fireworks between the US Bank building and another one.

Anyways, I ate my spring rolls and salad on the roof today and drew this scene of Washington Avenue and 14th Street. The building highest on the paper is the City Museum. I can't wait to just draw that building and the things attached to it's roof. I get excited with all the drawing possibilities on top of the roof... North City, South City, Downtown, Church Spires... It's my job to take long lunches and document the roof of Fashion Square Lofts in line drawings.

My pen flew, from the winds, on to the area the construction guys were working. I got a highlighter out of the retrieval. Sweet.
