Below is a selection of eight 7×10 pen & ink and watercolor paintings done in La Jolla, California. I moved to Northern California from La Jolla in 1974 to take at a job at a fledgling company called Lucasfilm. After I started doing Star Wars publishing in the late 1980s I would go back to visit my old haunts while attending a number of San Diego Comic Con events. Then in 2001 and 2002, I returned on vacation, staying at the funky Shell Beach hotel. Between snorkeling in the La Jolla Cove, and visiting friends, I created this little series of drawings and paintings.
