The Book Bus


So much great junk to draw at Island Recycle, but this dilapidated bus called my name. It's full of books. Was it a mobile library at one time? I wonder where and what this bus has seen. What's it's history? It made me think of Timothy Leary, Ken Kesey and the kinds of folks that may have owned this gem. Island Recycle begs a return.
Oh! And thanks to Patricia Duff of the South Whidbey Record for stopping by to talk with us. Great to meet you!

  1. Great sketch, Kris. You really captured it. The grass growing under the bus, all the rust and windows piled up against it really tell the story.
