This year, Tme Out published their list of the 'Coolest streets of the world'. Right amongst the 3 best is my favorite street in Melbourne: Gertrude street! My relationship with Gertrude is pure love. My wife worked there for a while and I used to hang out there on my own and sketch for hours. It's my favorite street in the world, it has bookshops, cool shops, barbers, hats, Art shops, designer shops, restaurants, bars,  my wife's favorite enoteca and cafes (like the sketchcup of @archiesallday ).  I dreamed of just hanging there 24/7. I am glad my favorite streetscape has gotten some international recognition! This is a collection of sketches from my earliest at Gertrude St. to the latest, where I drew from the window shop of @gertrudegrocer while having soup, waiting for my wife. . . . #drawthatout #gertrudestreet #streetsofmelbourne #timeoutmelbourne #melbournefoodie #fitzroy @peopleofgertrudestreet @timeoutmelbourne #illustrationartist #atlantaillustrator #melbournestreets #sketchartist #coffeshopsoftheworld #sketchartists (at Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch2o5m4gNp7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Its been a long week filled with late nights and super-early mornings. As such, I had trouble thinking up a clever caption for this photo. That's ok, though, because I know that I can always rely on my sleep-deprived mind to have my back. Rock, paper, scissors... That's what it came up with. I think I really need to get more sleep. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .9 #amazingaustralia #aussie_images #australiagram #australian #igaustralia #igersmelbourne #liveinvictoria #lovemelbourne #melbmoment #melbonpix #melbourne_insta #melbournecity #citykillerz #melbournelife #melbournenights #melbournephotographer #melbournetodo #streetactivityteam #streetshot #streetsofmelbourne #takemetomelbourne #theworldshots #thismelbourne #unlimited_australia #urbanphotography #visitvictoria #wonderlustmelbourne #cityofmelbourne #igersaustraliaofficial #magicofstreets (at Docklands Waterfront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoJs6X6Pbta/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So the story goes: this bloke walks around with a novelty-sized, homemade carrot because it makes people smile; he's tried other large novelty-sized foods but the carrot has the most positive reactions. I love my city. . . . . . #melbourne #streetsofmelbourne #humansofmelbourne #earthlingsofmelbourne #carrot #people #film #35mm #filmisnotdead #olympus #mjuii #fuji #pro400h #sayfuji #humanity https://www.instagram.com/p/B1cQSMTAEWo/?igshid=7sgq4bd0fkui

It is amazing to think that nighttime is actually the natural state of the universe, and the only reason we have daytime is because Earth just so happens to be facing a giant star illuminating it.
