Fabels drawn with Hiske's fine liner. Credit is due to the insecurity guard who stopped me finishing this drawing - because I was 'causing an obstruction'. And thanks to the 'obstructed' person who bought me a drink to calm me down

Buskers and the medical centre

Jason and the neighbourhood centre

 

 Jason was at a loose end - describing himself as a lost soul - and introduced himself and sat down with me, and drew in my other pad. After a while he got paranoid about someone he saw in the crowd and shot off. 

Jason, thanks for the beer
