Description
The Drink of Warriors was drawn in 2003 while I was living in a one room converted garage apartment that had a leaky in the ceiling, and mold on the walls. I was struggling to pay my student loans and living in the most expensive city in the world on a budget of what I could make busking playing violin at BART stations and any crappy dive bar gig I could get, and one of them was a sake joint on Haight Street in the lower part where I would spend evenings drawing or playing fiddle along with whatever music was playing in the bar. I had just moved from a flat I had rented a room in. My roommates were junkies, and I needed to get out of that place after having lived in a nice place with my ex fiance Laura, who had moved back to Florida when we broke up. I was depressed and the only things I had going for me were my violin playing, my artwork, and sake.
