I have always loved this sign - it's so graphically bad, and the name suggests an unimaginative business name (Cedric and Mariel?) A mystery. Had to draw it. The Motel is long and unassuming, typical roadside motel on a minor highway, and then this restaurant out of the 60's next door. Fine food: crab claws on Friday. Who would even stop there? To eat or stay? It's in the middle of nowhere. My husband's employee tells him it's a place that registered sex-offenders live. Motel, fine food and sex offenders?
Nothing makes me happier than drawing. If I could do it 24 hours a day, I would. The line is the thing - so much expression, feeling and energy can be put into ONE line. Then there is the color, the feeling of a fully loaded brush of paint going onto a canvas or watercolor paper - no feeling like that IN THE WORLD. I am fortunate to make my living as an illustrator with a double life as a painter and artist finding her own narrative in the work. Stay tuned. And thank you for visiting!
very nice draw, enjoy to stop on your page
