I Hope I'm This Cool When I'm Your Age

Doodle edition

My art arose from my doodling during class. I mean seriously, what else are you supposed to do during lectures? And you have a pen in your hand...

I later doodled at work. Same game different time zone.

So here are some doodles. I drew these particuar doodles at work. They were drawn with whatever pen I had at the moment on whatever paper was handy.

My ever present coffee cup staring at me on my office desk.

As a side note I have many things to be thankful for and coffee is high up o the list.

"Time to save time" God help us.

I like this one.

I like some of my doodles as much as my larger pieces. I drew this one on a Japanese post card. Not really sure why I had a Japanese post card.

I'll post more doodles later.

Cheers.

Calbayog City 2024

My wife is fixing a big Thanksgiving feast. I can smell the food cooking downstairs.

We live in a small port city and my wife went down to the docks early this morning and picked up an amazing assortment of fresh sea food. Crabs, scallops, muscles, octopus, milk fish, shrimp, along with assorted fresh vegetables. This is going to be a feast.

I was admiring the bounty of sea food with my eight year old son, Sean.

"Daddy?" Sean asked me out of the blue, "Have you ever noticed that 'SHELLFISH' sounds a lot like 'SELFISH'?"

I love it when he says things like that.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone 💓

black sharpie on paper

Miami 2009

I lived in Miami for a few years. I rented a small apartment right on the bay. It was lovely. Land crabs and iguanas used to wander around the yard. Beat that!

Miami has some of the most beautiful beaches on earth. White sands and tropical blue water. I used to hang out at beach cafes and draw.

Back then my main drawing tool was the black ultrafine sharpie. I was into drawing quilts. Crisp black and while images drawn off the cuff.

Here's another one.
