Apparently October is Thriller season. It’s one of the most requested dances to be performed for obvious reasons. Halloween, zombies, dance. I’m not terribly excited about this, I admit. I detest putting on makeup. When I have to, for performances, I always feel like clown. Always. However, I’m all about…
In honor of my girl band medley flash mob day, I am drawing my outfit for the day to document this event for it may never ever happen again. I am happy with my final choice. This is definitely something I don’t normally wear, but thanks to Thrift Town, Sock…
Ah, today was the flash mob day. This time I stayed until the bitter end, not like my first flash mob when I had the flu and had a fever and could only stay for 2 of the 4 planned flash mobs. It was a lot of fun. A lot…
Ah… more woodworking. Last week I learned to make mortise and tenon joint. it’s one of the more recognizable joints. I haven’t done the drawing for this, but I will… eventually. Meanwhile, here it is, in all of its glory! (with a drawing!) I made a mistake when…
I think I’m spread too thinly. I barely have time to do this today and I planned to do something else on the bottom half, but never did, so it’s just a sad, blank slate. This is the first time I’ve ever grown tomatoes … for my own consumption! I…
I had a project at work and it involved the ingredients in the drawing I made. I thought it would be more fun to post this without giving the answer (so that I can confuse myself later on) .
When I see my dioramas in their respective jars, I see them as sketches. Even though they have been made permanent by glue, I still think of them as transitory, a glimpse, a snapshot. To make these “sketches”, I make sketches of them based on thoughts, memories, and ideas. So here…
Yup, another drawing on the BART. I often have a hard time focusing on one thing. I get distracted easily. So when I’m on the BART train, I make a point not to play on my phone and instead, I draw. I like to draw people even though I’m not very…
I actually drew something for a dear friend’s birthday but I forgot to take a picture which is kind of ironic because the entire drawing was made up of cameras. So I started another drawing of houses that I’m making for the dioramas. I plan to make 20 more dioramas…
A pictorial journey into the compound joint: 2 lap joints and bridle joints. This was quite challenging for me, but I was surprised to see the result: I did it!
