Cluny – La_Sorbonne, originally uploaded by johntynan.

Lately, I’ve been getting off the metro at Cluny – La Sorbonne and just walking around. There are so many things that give me such pleasure, like getting lost in the basement of Image comics and coming out with just the right treasure (like a little book by Sempé) or sitting at table at Loulou’ for a burger and an actual milkshake.

Place St. Michele with Miles and Bubbles, originally uploaded by johntynan.

We were walking though the Place St. Michele in Paris when Miles’ attention was captured by a man blowing bubbles. He was delighted and dancing and running after each bubble. People were watching, some people were taking photos. I was laughing so hard with joy that I forgot to take a photo… but I saw it in my mind, just like this, like an illustration out of a Madeline childrens’ book. So I went ahead and attempted to draw it.
