浪漫菖蒲 / Roman shobu

The other day I was cleaning my desk and the surrounding area, and I found this small Moleskine book I used to draw in from 2005.  There are some nice sketches from the book, so I suppose this will be the focus for this week.  I've said before that I don't own a sketch book, but I suppose that this was the exception. (^^;

Anyway, these kids are getting all excited about croquettes.  I don't eat them usually because they are fried, and fried food makes me really sick.  I did have some potato croquettes once, and they were really good.  Pie and sushi were also on my mind when I drew this.  I guess I was hungry at the time, and I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!  Man, I could sure use some pie.  There was one time that I went to this farm that was somewhat near the sea, and I bought the most wonderful boysenberry pie there.  The crust is excellent and really a crust can make or break a pie.  I can still taste the boysenberry filling, even now!  After remembering this, I think I drew this sketch around the same time that I had bought the pie and shared it with a few friends.  None of them wanted to keep it, so I brought home more than half a pie for my parents.  Ha ha.  Those were the times.
