Cafe Trieste


If I leave my house and go around the corner, up a lot of stairs, and then down the street, I end up at Cafe Trieste. Cafe Trieste is one of the oldest coffee houses in the country. The coffee is unbelievable. Better than any other coffee I have had in the United States. Usually coffee in the US is terrible but Cafe Trieste really knows what they are doing. They roast their own beans and have barristas who know how to prepare all the drinks.

A few weeks ago I walked over to get cappuccino and work on my website (free wifi) and there was randomly a bunch of people playing mandolins. Enjoy today's drawing, the view of the Monkey Bar outside Trieste. Monkey Bar is a Thai bar where you can get excellent mixed drinks and noodle dishes.

Opening statement

I began this blog as a way to pull art out of myself every day. Even though I could just do it I work best when I have a deadline. Since I will be publishing a new drawing or painting every weekday I now have a deadline.
Tonite I will just be formatting this blog but tomorrow I will be posting drawings.
