Illustrator Wendy MacNaughton talked to some Mission bartenders about what it’s like being a Mission bartender, and then produced a lovely feature complete with sketches, portraits, graphs, charts and more. Read it.

I remember this from last year.
I though this was a repeat.
thought.
Yes, I remember best the “possible migratory patterns” for being all too true.
Except for that it’s totally false, unless you assume that by “all possible” patterns for the four bars listed, one must first start at Zeitgiest.
I am in love with Wendy McNaughton’s art. Her stuff continually blows me away.
I love Maira Kalman too, oops I mean Wendy McNaughton.
Huh, you think Maira Kalman’s work looks like McNaughton’s? I don’t really see it, either in tone, execution, or content.
It is pretty Quentin Blake though isn’t it…
Hmm.. The guy who illustrated Roald Dahl books? I guess I could see that more than Kalman, at least as far as some of Blake’s stuff goes (for instance: http://www.kingscrosscentral.com/img/cache/f336aae19aed8e400bdfcfd876b40436_r.jpg), but they is the exception rather than the rule. MacNaughton’s work seems more abstracted and free-form to me.
But I’m not an art critic or anything, just some random dood looking at pictures on the intertubes, so what the fuck do I know?
I like those watercolors very much, and I never considered myself a fan of the medium. I see that Suicidal register a lot. Mike Muir is a dick. (that’s what blogs are good for – talking shit from behind the keyboard when 1000 Venice Beach cycos can’t beat your ass).
yeah this is old
