PAINT THE TOWN
Raised in Conejo Valley and based in L.A., artist Jimmy Thompson visits this area regularly. “I feel far away, even though it’s relatively close,” he says. “There’s something in the air, I guess, that makes me feel relaxed—and I think it shows in the pieces.” Take a look inside his delightful sketchbooks.
