Sainsbury's car park

We were going Christmas shopping in Lassco's but traffic was bad. So I am waiting for Debbie Loftus in Sainsbury's car park on Wandsworth Road. I think this building used to be part of an ice store on Nine Elms Lane but is in the process of becoming a rotunda, the area is set for quite a facelift when the US embassy moves in.

Round the Circle Line

Took a group of students drawing on the Circle Line. I had planned rendezvous sessions at on platform snack bars. Rather disappointed that only one student stayed the course and yet strangely pleased that I could allow myself several hours of uninterrupted drawing.

Asleep on the circle line

This woman was asleep on the circle line, she had the look of someone trying to get some sleep rather than someone going anywhere.

Stockwell mouse

Recently had to work on a Sunday. There was heavy drizzle so used the Northern Line from Stockwell. Running down the escalator had to step over a dead mouse stuck in the last step.

Two men on the 319 to Clapham Junction

Two men sat together on the 319 from South Kensington Station to Clapham Junction. They didn't say a word until the man nearest the window got off outside Debenhams. "Have a good weekend" he said....they clearly knew each other.

Self-tattooed man on the northern line

I saw this man asleep as soon as I got on the train, he was wearing a white nylon tracksuit and had his hands folded over his bulky belly. He had several self inked tattoos including one that said "Dee" written at an odd angle down his thumb. I hesitated before taking out my sketchbook as he appeared to stir often and looked slightly dangerous. I overcame the possibility of him waking to find me staring intently at him by drawing into my sketchbook which had been carefully placed inside my handbag. I figured I could shut it in there if I needed to make a fast getaway.

Pearl and Dan in La Chapelle

A portrait of Pearl and Dan in La Chapelle, this is a surprisingly accurate record of how they spent that week.
