  Another day at Starbucks waiting for my car to be fixed.

Jade at Starbucks

  My car door handle fell off last week. Very strange. One part actually broke, the other part just became dislodged and I couldn’t put it back in properly.  I brought it to the dealer so they could put on the new part I had already ordered and reinstall the handle properly.  While the did that I went to Starbucks to have a mocha and draw. This woman was studying and I took advantage of her stillness to draw her while I had a cherry oat bar and drank my coffee. While I was in the middle of drawing it I posted the picture as part of my ‘Where Am I?’ series I do on social media.     jade-at-starbucks-2014_linedrawingonly   Of course, someone guessed right away that it was Starbucks based on the color of the napkin.  Someone else guessed Greece, which would have been nice. Another guessed ‘Night Trips’ which is a ‘Gentlemans Club’ in Tulsa, which would have been interesting.   Later the woman got up to leave and took the opportunity to show her the drawing. She was very excited to have been drawn and took a picture of it. I then took a photo of her holding up the drawing.  I introduced myself, gave her my card. I found out her name is Jade.    jade-at-starbucks-2014_with-jade   Jade left and shortly thereafter she friended me on Instagram, posting the photo she took of the drawing.  I in turn posted this photo. It turns out she is an artist and the drawing inspired her to start drawing during her cafe moments like she used to. That’s exciting and I hope to see the drawings soon!   _________________ Drawing and photos by Marty Coleman _________________
