Description
This one has a bit of a story, haha.
I had been working with a group on a uni project all day, and we ended up finishing at 4am. The project was due at 8:30am on that day. I was completely delirious but wide awake. I live an hours drive away from my uni and it would be pointless to drive home, sleep for 3 hours and drive back again. So I decided that instead of sleeping where I would just be more wrecked when I woke up, I would just wait it out, hand it in, go home and crash on my bed.
But what to do at 4am...for 5 hours? What was even open?
Answer: 24 hour McDonalds. Yes, for 5 and a half hours I sat in McDonalds and watched all manner of lifeforms walk in and out... Secret police deals with the employees... An endless line of truckies with competing facial hair...
Anyway, after my 30th McCafe coffee I thought my questionable 2-hour flaneur session was wearing thin, and I needed something else to pass the time. Enter piece of paper and pen.
This is Old Man Maccatree, named after the place he was born, and shaped by a fried mind and the characters that passed through. The eyes and moustache here were directly taken from a truckie
Hope you like!

the story behind this one is the best.
hahaha i slept in the computer lab once. security guard came in and jesse and bill were on their computers, he got all weird about it but left. he didn't see me though.
that was a good night. that fucking project was rediculously big (if we printed it as big as it was meant to be, it would have been around 8 meters long, a0 on the short side) luckily we shrunk it down.
i love your anecdote about the truckies and to many many coffees.
this work is great. fav'd for sure.
