Atlas Stair Building Co. Building sketch trials

 first view and sketch trial

2901 22nd street in the Mission District of San Francisco is the address of an unusual building that must have a interesting history to reveal...my focus was to capture some views with texture tests in sketchbook pro and then see what happens next...will post to flickr also...

"You may feel that you have eaten too much...But this pastry is like
feathers - it is like snow. It is in fact good for you, a digestive!"
