Some sketches in ink drawn on BART during my morning commute. Above: This morning’s commuters seemed to all be wearing hats. The woman in the middle’s cap was pink and her head of white hair was shaved almost completely. Below: Random people from yesterday and today.
I’m a words and pictures sort of person and today at work was all about numbers. I know that numbers can be our friends. With numbers there is a right answer and a wrong answer, unlike so much else in life. Today there were too many wrong answers or simply no answers. But now it’s my weekend and I can forget about numbers for a few days.
Mostly drawn with Lamy Safari and Noodlers Ink in Moleskine sketchbook. The ink just wouldn’t dry this morning so I blotted it with Kleenex so I could close the book without leaving little blobs on the other side.

HATS! Wonderful, Jana!! And you see that variety? The ones I see here in NC are all baseball caps — mostly worn backwards! Now if I went to church and looked for hats — mercy, what a grand time then, especially in African-American churches. I see farmers with broad-rimmed straw hats for the sun, and some gardeners — but mostly baseball caps. Wouldn’t it be fun to take a survey of hat wears and styles across the US for this time period?

Love the hats and your sketch of the fountain brought back one of my trips To Doll U in Oakland.

I like sketches of hats – as a retailer, I’m usually working only in photgraphy (for web shots and print catalogs) in order to provide specific detail for customers.
Your broad sketches allow the viewer to interact – place shades and textures of their own imagination and preference. Very nice!
