#27 – Please let me explain…

Panda Inn wall artOkay, I know this looks bad, but here’s the story: we were waiting for a table at Panda Inn, and I needed something to sketch.  Above the bar hangs a group of masks, of which these are two.  Unfortunately, when I finished my sketches, I realized they looked not so much like masks as like offensive caricatures.  That’s why I added the lettering to the right (and this overwrought, apologetic caption).

Actually, I’ve been trying to avoid drawing anything that is itself a representation (like sketching a photo, sculpture, or other piece of art).  If only I’d stuck to that rule, I never would have drawn these things!
