A.
The desire to wow ladies, obviously. Really, honestly â I began drawing females from the Lexington Club as a way to present myself, in a way that had been even more original than providing them a glass or two or eagerly singing along into jukebox’s Pat Benatar. We started obtaining the sketches and thinking about it much more as a “project” when I heard the club was closing.

On Halloween of 2014 we held courtroom at my preferred area during the bar and drew gorgeous folks in costume, who consequently ordered myself products. A cute girl (or perhaps â person who isn’t really a cis man) handed me personally a card that said “you might be fucking awesome. Keep that shit right up” and was presented with. I went into her once more to my option to catch the BART and practiced the basic kiss since my Major separation that thought fun and gorgeous. Thus â that was a night.
