An Unexpected View

The city center of Cambridge is usually busy with tourists and shoppers during weekends, so if I have to shop, I usually scramble to get out of the center as soon as possible. But this time I decided to take my time and check out a cafe my friend recommended. The inside was full and steamy, so I had to take a seat outside, and funny enough, only then I noticed the view of The Round Church, the 800-year-old church that I have long wanted to visit.

The air was hazy and cool, and as I drew, someone knocked on the cafe window behind me. An elderly couple smiled and raised their thumbs. It was a sweet unexpected excursion in the middle of the busy city.

Crossroads in the sky.

Can’t help but wonder.

A Place For…

What would you like to do here? Frisbee? Lunch? Conference?

Drawn thinking about places mentioned in Alain de Botton’s works.

The Creative Momentum

A mural in Montréal. The book the writer is standing on is titled:

“L’Élan Créateur”
(The Creative Momentum)

and next to the book, it reads:

“Celui qui va pensif, voit les choses, les nomme…”

which, according to Google, means:

“The one who goes thoughtful, sees things, names them…”

(poem by Albert Ferland)

I’m visiting for CogSci 2019 – Montréal feels like Tribeca, albeit more spacious and French.
