Feb. 9

Time spent: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours
Actions: I met Jon today at a coffee shop in the Mission (after a while of being lost). He is around thirty but he seems like he's around my age; I was so nervous and jittery for no good reason! He's really friendly and easy to talk to, but his schedule is quite full, so I have to schedule our meeting dates at least a week in advance through email or by calling him. I learned a lot about him: On top of caricatures, from which he makes most of his income, he does illustrations and paintings, which are equally amazing but less in-demand. He's from the east coast, and he tries to refrain from speaking like a Bay Area native in order to keep that "professional" aura, which I know can prove quite difficult for artists and free spirits.
Next action: I'm meeting him again after Valentine's Day at his workplace, which is also a BART ride away in the Mission.
How am I doing?: I've got an early start. I'm hoping this project runs smoothly!
