Drawing: Cartoon Dad

He shines bright and glows despite being black and white. He sips earl grey in the mornings and changes the color of his tie with his mood. He is the #1 Dad.

Drawing: Pattaya Sunset

Adapted from a photo of the Thai resort town, we look out over the water at an island as the sun sets. Breakers distort the close ocean surface, and the sun cuts through the haze in bright hues.

Drawing: Snowy Scene

Also inspired by the afroed master Bob Ross, I executed this winter scene a bit better than the previous one and thought of Cleveland where I grew up as I drew. I remember the stillness and quiet outside when the snow fell. And the creek behind the fence at my house that froze and filled with snow on its banks and in the trees.

Drawing: Campfire Shadows

Inspired by an old Bob Ross episode alive on YouTube, I started to work out fire and shadows on the Surface. Not there yet surely, but fun to try to make it look like something and keep moving forward.

Cartoon: 8-bit Creature

Learning SketchBook and this thing comes about. The background comes straight from a lo-fi video game, the character a confusion of circle-shapes with a disproportionate body, and the colors trip everything out - a magic mushroom from Mario ingested on the scene. Thank you GIMP.

Drawing: The Resistance

Listening to The War of Art and picking up the pad. Steven Pressfield's book is really hitting home. It's like he reads my mind, but I guess the monologue echoes the same in lots of us. This is an artifact showing the slaying of the dragon start.

Drawing: Neon Scream

Desparately seeking to be scary, but hooked on the color pink and flashy entrances. A grey turned sky blue and fashion forward, more disco than flying saucer.

Drawing: Dog Ma

He realizes how to spell his name in Thai, his mind is blown to learn about tones, and how MA can mean five different things.

Drawing: Painted Hearts

Simulated markers and fake paints and a callback to the early days. Quick and fast and without judgement. Pen on paper and progress by going through the motions. Not worthless.

Thai Practice July 2018

These days I practice my Thai writing by copying full sentences. I use a Microsoft Surface that I can draw on which makes this very easy. I also have a few sample chapters from Glossika with lots of sentences. These examples are nice because they have the tone maps for the sounds and an English transliteration.

Thai Practice January 2018

I practiced writing Thai consonants in the beginning by tracing the shapes in different colors. For me, this was a good way to learn the new hand motions needed to write Thai letters. I read and copy whole sentences now instead of tracing letters, but this was great in the first days.

Drawing: Over the Hills

This one might not be worth posting, but I'm still learning to use paints and brushes on the Surface to get the effects I want. I like the sky here most. Mist in the foothills.

Drawing: Desert Pastels

Sunset in the desert is rich in pastels with skies and landscapes merging in color. The aridity mixes the palettes and creates smooth colorful transitions.

Drawing: Curtain Bomb

It started as an atomic bomb in the night. Then folded into vertical streaks like a curtain. A Lynchian satin.

Drawing: Comet on Saturn

Layers of atmosphere like you see in pictures of Saturn. An intruder of some kind in the sky with an ominous but cute tail. Floating because there's no solid surface. A porous planet that fleeces a comet, but lets it pass through.
