Sketch of the Week: Spaceship and Donuts



I had yet another opportunity to see the Space Shuttle. The first time around I saw it was very small, but I was able to see it more up close this time. The Shuttle was in the process of being moved to California Science Museum, and it was parked for a few hours by iconic Randy's Donuts, its nose next to the large donut on top of the store. The crowd that gathered to see it was orderly but massive, and it took me a while to work my way up to the barricades to secure a spot to sketch. A plane heading to LAX passed by from time to time, the smell of donuts filled the air, and helicopters with cameras buzzed overhead. Someone shouted, "Once in a lifetime, y'all!", and he was right.

  1. That's so awesome. I'm glad you sketched it. How cool that is was in front of a donut shop.
