First off, I wouldn't. But let's say I was just funding this venture and had someone good at it to manage it and do all the work involved. I'm not into food and not capable of keeping up with food service. But what I'd fund would rock. It wouldn't be that horribly expensive either. Your basic 24-hour diner. Burgers and eggs and po'boys and meatloaf, short order cooking, a sort of pleasant 1930s or 40s atmosphere, little bit of neon, people that know you serving it, and short order cooks that pay attention to what you ask for. Substitutions always easy, if you don't want the fries get a salad or a baked potato or whatever, put what condiments you want on it, pancakes come with six flavors of syrup choices, that sort of place. Low prices and good food, much of it fried on the spot. A good one like this is The Hummingbird Cafe in New Orleans. Cheap but good. Rob's Eats or something like that. LOL -- could always call it CAT FUD or something and put a neon cat face on the sign, when it's something like that you can indulge your personal tastes in what to call it too.

Peregrine Falcon Sketch in Conte sketch pencil, in my sketchbook. I did it while Lisa was doing her much larger peregrine falcon in Inktense to show her what I thought the shape of the tips of the flight pinions was, but then I finished it beyond them and thought it looked cool. While she worked on her falcon, I started eight watercolor ATCs for my eight Open Swap cards. Six of the eight are finished. All are in Daniel Smith watercolors, some with iridescents used in them.
These came out great, and I have two more that aren't finished -- one with two dragons in brown on a golden background, and the other a stormy sky that needs a landscape beneath it. I think it'll come out good, I think they both will. They just aren't done. I'll post them when they are.
