San Francisco Hipster with Owl Socks and Artisanal Toast

Hunched over the captive glow of his iPhone, he was oblivious to the fact the server had just delivered his order of "artisan toast". Artisan toast is the hot new food trend in San Francisco. Basically, it's just a slice of toasted bread made from "locally sourced organic ingredients" topped with various fancy sounding accompaniments such as "hand-churned, grass-fed Petaluma butter". It costs $6.95 a slice. Anyway, I also happened to take notice of the cartoon owl socks he was wearing under his snug-fitting black suit. Medium: graphite in sketchbook, digital paint.
