Somehow it took me two weeks to get around to posting these. Funny how the time goes. I added a bit of extra color to them somewhere in there, courtesy my new Dr. Ph. Martin’s Radiant Concentrated Watercolors (more danger in a bottle than overproof rum!) overlaid on the regular watercolors I did onsite.
Anyway, I went to Union Pool to see War on Drugs. I’d describe their sound as Shoegaze Springsteen. If that appeals to you at all, check them out. They’re very good at it. Plus they put on a good live show and are friendly guys.
Before and after the band played, I did some drawings. As you can see, Union Pool is kind of a scene. The live music room is nice, but I don’t recommend going there just to hang out.
Oh, and as I was getting towards leaving, some guy out with his bros asked me to draw his dogs from a photo. I obliged:
Union Pool would’ve made me want to leave New York if I’d ever been there before I left New York.
I think Dr. Martin’s be doin’ you right, though.

Re. Union Pool: Yes, exactly.
Re. Dr. Martin’s: Just you wait to see what happens when I use them straight up!
