sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is classic vintage retro 1975 mini 1275 Gt. My first car. This one I coloured in orange but mine was purple. I dont have a purple faber castell marker pen.
When I turned 16 my dad asked me what car would I like. I replied instantly without a doubt nor hesitation, “I want a car exactly like Mr Bean’s”. My dad looked uncertain, “Are you sure that’s what you want?” I replied, “Yes. In Purple.” That was one of my favourite gifts. I have since sold Petunia my purple mini and I have never loved any other car since.

A first car is always important.
You’re lucky to have driven… Petunia!

I love this ~ it looks exactly like this toy mini I had as a little kid, by far my favorite toy and in a sense at times he was my best friend 🙂 Wonderful drawing ~ such good memories!
