Batman Sighting!

Recently I went on an adventure with two people who I barely know.  Don't get be wrong- I consider these guys friends- but really, I didn't know them very well.  I met these guys because of the show LOST.

A couple years ago, there was a marketing campaign from the LOST folks to create limited edition art prints to celebrate the show.  I, along with thousands of other fans- chased after these elusive prints- but the prints weren't the only precious things I got from this underground art project.  I got to know some of the other fans of this show- and we've become friends.  We would chat online about the prints, our favorite episodes, our favorite characters.  We would help each other out with print buying if someone needed a hand.  Some of us met up at the LOST Gallery 1988 Art Show for the first time in 2009.  A bunch of us went to Hawaii for the season premier of the 6th and final season of LOST. And last year, a group of us went to the San Diego Comic Con. We are each so different from one another- originating from different places from around the world- but we all came together because of this show.

LOST has been off the air for over 2 years, but we're still online talking to each other- visiting one another whenever we can.  It's pretty awesome.  And since I'm currently unemployed, I was able to jump onto this little adventure with  Chris and Pat.  Someone came up with the name AliceChrisPatapalooza for our trek across San Diego county.  I slept over at Pat's house and met his lovely wife for the first time.  We all went out to dinner the first night. Then the next day me, Chris and Pat went on an adventure.  Pat planned an elborate tour of San Diego county- taking us to the desert in the morning, into the mountains in the afternoon and then to the beach in the evening.  It was a beautiful day- full of amazing sights. We took a lot of pictures but that's not what I want to share with you today.

One of the things I wanted to do while I'm unemployed is to start drawing again. Being creative.  Doing some writing and art.  It's something I haven't done in awhile.  Gonna start carrying around a sketch book with me wherever I go and see if I can start a sketch journal of sorts.

A couple of our favorite artists, Daniel Danger and Olly Moss have done some fun Batman sighting pieces and I thought I would do one of my own.  Unbeknownst to Chris and Pat, I saw Batman hanging out at some of the places we visited that day on our little adventure.  Looks like the dark knight is gearing up for his return to Gotham's streets by first doing some scouting around San Diego. This first sighting was at the Borrego Desert Tower.


I wonder where he'll turn up next?
