Jim Jarmusch once told Tom Waits "Fast, Cheap, and Good… pick two. If it’s fast and cheap it won’t be good. If it’s cheap and good it won’t be fast. If it’s fast and good it wont be cheap. Fast, cheap and good… pick two words to live by."

A London plein air watercolour drawing of the Thames on a drizzly day (I was underneath a structure of some kind). St Paul's on the left and I think it's Blackfriars Bridge on the right. I expect that skyline has changed since 1993. It was cold. #London #Thames #watercolour
