When Carla and John Logan opened Carly's Bistro on Roosevelt Street in downtown Phoenix, they had a few friends (read: great local artists) help decorate the place.

Namely, the artists dropped off their sketchpads and doodles, which now lie under a thick layer of resin on the bar and on a few of the restaurant tables. Here's just a sample of the collection.

The bar at Carly's Bistro, 128 E Roosevelt Street, also features work by the Fortoul brothers and Brian Boner, among others.
