Manisha Shahane's Band and Amit Apte


I went to see Manisha Shahane and Amit Apte perform at the West LA Farmer's Market. I was glad to run into Mitra Martin and Stefan Fabry (two amazing tango teachers, whom I was lucky enough to enjoy taking classes with back when I had some time) as they performed on stage just before the musicians. I switched from watercolors to pencil and markers for these. These are also the first sketches in a lovely spiralbound sketchbook that my pal Eriko sent me from Japan. The first one is of Amit and the rest are of the amazing musicians who accompanied Manisha. Geoff Rakness on upright Bass (which I kinda shrunk), Delton Davis on some bongos perhaps and Dave Lewis on drums. I had to run off to another show downtoan so I didn't get a chance to draw Manisha this time around, but it was a lot of fun.
