Eri Yamamoto Trio

This one of a few drawings someone did
on the lower level of Arthur's Tavern
where the bathrooms are. I couldn't find a name of the artist. Shame that,

The Band, The Eri Yamamoto Trio, was really good.
They had a light, elegant, flow with spurts of  bangs,
or booms via the drumming at just the right moment.

My first round, ice water:) I was trying not to drink
but then the bartender started enforcing the two drink rule.
I should have seen this coming, it is a bar after all.

I tweaked the contrast, and bumped up the color saturation a bit.
This color function worked well in the dark setting of Arthur's Tavern,
certain colors are highlighted and everything else is in black and white
with some really cool grays.

Eri Yamamoto on the Piano. She writes the music
and brought the band together.

The way they strung the light went really well
with the color setting, making for a dark, yet romantic mood.

I saw this stenciled on a boarded up bar down the block
and around the corner from Arthur's Tavern on my
way home after there set.
I  made some color variations of  it. Its was put to donate money
to the Japan relief effort by someone. I thought it was really nice.


This is Manhattan bridge when I was biking home to brooklyn.
