one of the best parts of my birthday was spending the day with rob petrie,
an architecture professor at syracuse and an amazing artist,
who i was fortunate to be connected with through mercury.
as you can see from rob's blog, one of his passions is sketching the
scenes of his coffee and espresso engagements,
and actually using the coffee as a pigment, like a watercolor.
we went to pastis on november 8th, and he created this.
i had my fingers crossed that it was a postcard that might come my way.
rob did not disappoint. (do you see the stamp!)
