Sketchbook History Tour – 1985, the first known napkins
by Marty Coleman | Oct 10, 2010 |
Look what I found! The first example of my amazing aptitude for drawing on napkins, haha.
In 1985 I was working as a waiter/manager at Eulipia Restaurant in San Jose, California. I had just graduated from San Jose State University with my M.F.A. and was in my first year of teaching part-time at the college level.
I don’t know who the top two people are, probably a depressed patron and a waitress. The bottom image is of Angelique. I spelled her name ‘Angeleak’ because I had recently completed a large charcoal drawing of her in which I included a visual pun on her name ‘angel + leak’.
Here is that drawing.

Here is a close up of the pun.

>Thank you Agnes! I appreciate the compliment a great deal.
I know my imagery can seem pretty bizarre at times, but it says what I want it to say, and that is the important thing for an artist.
>My goodness Marty you're so talented! You're amazing, really!
