Drawing with drawing

Last week, I was on my way to my creative writing class at the City Library when I came upon this fellow in Flinders Lane. Jesse Olsen drawing on a shop window

His name is Jesse Olsen and I like his drawing.Close up of ink work

    Hello Piers!

    I’m off to the States on Sunday – shame you won’t be going to the Reubens this year. I’ll be going on to London (showing the boyfriend the sights), so let me know if you happen to be there

    It’s beautiful – is it temporary, or permanent enough to withstand rain or people touching it?

    It is permanent, though Jesse said it could be scratched off so wouldn’t be suitable for glasses that you drink out of, for example.

    Nice work,
    We love wandering around those lanes (well Sue loves it a lot more than me!)
    I assume he was commissioned by the shop? Maybe he should do it from the inside….
