My first attempt at drawing buildings with a Pentel brush pen.

This is a street in East Liberty that I’d only seen from a car window. When I accompanied my friend Scheiny to the Femme Show, I had a minute to chill on South Highland Ave. and check out some of the old buildings. (This street includes a great place for cupcakes!)

Question: In 3 years, I’ve lived on six ships and two cities. When I sit in public and draw, it’s fairly common for a guy to start chatting with me. It’s not unheard of that the guy asks me out. Once (in Italy) a guy asked about my sketches for about two minutes, and then said, “Oral sexo? We could find a hotel…” But I can’t think of a single time that a woman (sketchy or otherwise) has come up to me in the street and started a conversation while I’m drawing.

Are women so strongly conditioned not to interrupt? or more sensitive to possible rejection? or in more of a hurry? or am I magically only cute to the opposite sex?! Discuss.
