This past weekend I was lucky enough to tag along with my mom, sister and her friends to a night in Tampa. The day we drove up we went to the Oddities and Curiosities Expo. which was pretty cool. Lot’s of taxidermy, lots of cool people. I got a couple prints, a funny Luigi;) sticker, and some sea urchins. My sister got real taxidermy, but it was a little too pricy for me. (Prints are linked to artists websites!)

I ride shared back towards the hotel after I got my share of the expo, and decided to just explore near the riverwalk. I got a beer and sat down to draw around a Holiday market that had just started. A girl sitting near me approached, saying she took a photo and I happened to be in it. She wanted to airdrop it to me. First time that’s happened! I told her she was so sweet for doing it and made sure to show my appreciation and excitement.

After drawing for a while, and the sun setting. I decided to walk down the riverwalk to take some photos. I found a high up place people were sitting and decided to sit there as well and people watch.

The hotel we stayed at was pretty fancy. We got valet, and there was a rooftop pool I didn’t make it to, too wiped. I passed out quickly.

The next day we walked around Ybor city. I got a piece of scrap fabric for $1 and a Tibetan hand fan for $8.
