went to COSTCO again
This was like my 7th or 8th time now at COSTCO. The notion of portion control kept resonating in my head as I tried to reach the handle of my shopping cart and push it around at the same time.
I stop in when my Tacoma needs gas.
Got a good deal on Peet’s coffee though. That oughta’ last us a few weeks.
Ragsdale Home
This Merced house, which I’ve been told is among the oldest in the Ragsdale neighborhood – built some time in the 1920s – is just down the street from us and on my dog-walking route. So I get to see it at least twice a day, if not more. It has a flat roof except for two small sections, which are covered by ceramic tile very likely made at the California Pottery Company, Merced.
Technical: I used a reference photo taken from my iPhone, which I then displayed on an external monitor while I sketched it freehand on my iPad in Procreate. I use the “cloud” brush in Procreate to do the trees and shrubs; I couldn’t do that in Paper 53.
I made a few small changes when producing this card for the home owner:

Marxist Blogger Arrested for Entertaining Alternatives
After an extensive, six-week manhunt, deputies with the Merced County Sheriff’s Office have finally arrested the President and CEO of portfoliolongo.com on charges of entertaining alternatives. At the booking the notorious illustroblogger quoted Marx, “Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them, well, I have others.”

Merced Theater
Merced Theater. Such a beautiful landmark, inside and out.

Started this in Paper 53 and finished it off, cropping off a huge portion, in Procreate.
Update: brought it back into Procreate…thought it had lost a significant part of its essence.
