Here is another very quick sketch I did when I spent all day at the Bureau of Immigration. This branch of Starbucks seems to be built into the fortifications of the old city – in a long stone-vaulted space, a bit like a bomb shelter. I sketched this in just 10 minutes and added the colour at home.

Trying my hand at getting the Starbucks sign right while two young women pour over their laptop and work. This was done at my usual haunt while waiting for my daughter at gymnastics classes – but this time with my wife who was using up my internet time to research family holidays.

Here is another sketch of the chairs outside one of my frequent coffee shop haunts (where I work sometimes while I wait for my daughter to do her gymnastics).

I missed a day yesterday, so I will try to catch up today. Here is one I did at a coffee shop in Makati. The tall room was lit with long hanging lamps and at the back they had this huge wood-clad column decorated with pictures.

This was my view from the coffee shop yesterday. I hesitated before drawing this because of all the complicated chair legs and lines…but then I thought, what have I got to lose by trying.

Here is a quick sketch I did in the coffee shop the other day. It seems like most people (including me) were there to work.

Here is another sketch at the coffee shop near where we shop regularly. The title refers to the guy browsing on his phone, a school girl sleeping (you can’t see her head as its resting on the bench) and the woman in the foreground who was busy working,
