I'm a big admirer of Paul Klee.

I don't think Klee ever used this motif but as I drew this I was thinking about him.

If you look closely at the edge of a black hole it becomes obvious that the entire universe is made of little tiny things.

When I become artistically lost, I draw circles.

There is something deeply satisfying about a circle. It conveys, at least to me, the completeness of life, the circadian rhythms of nature, the endless hope of rebirth.

I draw and I feel the metaphysical ambiance.

But I know its all an illusion.

Yesterday we went on a road trip up to the north coast of our island. We traveled through the Philippine outback and along the way we stopped and bought road side foods, which were delicious.

We traveled as a group. My wife and myself with our kids. Some friends came along as well with their kids.

It was so beautiful.

We drove for several hours through the countryside and all the while, even though I knew it was all an illusion...

I had to admit that it was a beautiful illusion.

It's an illusion

Another swirl drawing. I put those gaps in the lines just because I thought it would look cool but then the drawing took on a completely unexpected life. I was surprised.

Drawing those big swirls was a challenge. I remember feeling neurotic about them not being perfect. A couple of them still bug me. I'm a nut. :))

The Little Dog

Hollywood 2017

I used to draw this little dog. I just thought he was cute that's all. Then one day I posted the above drawing to a Facebook group and not only did the drawing get removed but I got kicked out of the group! It was kind of funny 😎

Here he is again!

Sean, my 8yo son, told me this is the worst drawing I have ever done.

He might be right, but what does that mean̈?

Kitten invasion

Every night I have two dinner companions. They love little bits of chicken or pork but their absolute favorite is shrimp. They go nutz for shrimp.

My only regret in life is that I didn't come to the Philippines sooner. I love it here.

I don't speak German, but somehow, this song, sung in German, talks to me.
