Abstract
Tje first time i visit London, from my home in New York City, was in 2006; I was there to prep for exhibition of my drawings in Clerlenwell. I stayed ad the posh ZetterHotel for afew days and walked for miles (and kilometers) by myself, and with my friends Dan and Helen, checking out the city. I remember going to the Fryer's Delight, Ineternational Magic, the Columbia Road Flower Market, The old Curiosity Shop, walking through Holland Park, and more. I loved it all: the food, the shoes, the energy of the history, and the people from all around the world.
