Scenes from a Brooklyn Sketchbook

I love productivity tricks, but I could never get into bullet journaling. I think it’s because I don’t like to draw lots of little boxes. However, I read a great article here on Medium by Michael Korzonek that inspired me to try again.

I adapted his system, a topic for another post, and most consistently write down “what I want to remember from the day” (in a little box). It’s mostly New York City’s weird, daily Valentines.

This week, I illustrated what I wanted to remember. Here you go, a comic from Flatbush, Brooklyn, where I live with my wife and our senior Doberman, and toil at a coding boot camp when I should be drawing.

I love that Bob’s Burgers doesn’t dog Bob for working in a restaurant and liking it. We just watched the episode where Bob gets his burnout, and makes out with the mustardy “I hate to see you brie-ve, but I love to see you go,” burger. His family makes him take a day off, but he just finds another little cafe to work. “I-I-I might be dying,” Bob says. “But this is worth it.” March 13

“Nothing makes me happier/than serving food to some guy.
It may seem so boring, it might get you snoring/but to me it’s the Fourth of July.” — Bob
