Egon Schiele

Tierra Mia Coffee, Echo Park, 2016

I love Egon Schiele. I made this drawing after one of his self portraits while sitting in a little cafe called Tierra Mia Coffee in Echo Park, Los Angeles.

Btw, Tierra Mia Coffee serves a Mexican Style Hot Chocolate that is perhaps the best hot chocolate on Earth. It's so delicious. Rich and creamy with little bits of chocolate. Seriously.

It's a nice place to draw too.

Here's another drawing I did that same morning.

Thank you Tierra Mia Coffee. I miss that place.

Here are some of the images we used for his music.

Angel from Montgomery

JOHN PRINE

I am an old woman

Named after my mother

My old man is another

Child who's grown old.

If dreams were lighting

And thunder were desire

This old house would have burnt down

A long time ago.

Make me an angel

To fly from Montgomery

Make me a poster

Of an old rodeo

Just give me one thing

That I can hold on to

To believe in this living

Is just a hard way to go.

-- John Prine

Wicked game - Chris Isaak

ballpoint pen and alcohol

Calbayog City 2024

Today's drawing.

When I finished this drawing I had ink all over my hands and rubbing alcohol all over my lap... and a new face staring at me.

Art is magic.

Purple Haze

The Jimi Hendrix Experience

In 1967, when Jimi Henrix appeared out of nowhere, it was like an apparition from some other world.

We were all thunderstruck.

Tropical diving

colored pencil, calbayog city, 2025

I added more to this one. I love playing with these colored pencil pigments.

I brought heavy duty art paper from America that can put up with some abuse. I draw with the pencils and then rub them with alcohol. The colors smear around and blend together. When the alcohol dries I draw more and then smear again. It's so satisfying.

Lately I'm inspired by the blue of the Philippine sea near my home. I went diving a few days ago. The colors of the tropical waters were just like this drawing. As I dove around in a pastel coral forest I actually met a tropical sea snake. It calmly swam about ten feet from me. The snake, the coral forest and the tropical blue ocean were breathtaking.

The ink does what it will. I just try to help.

Leonard Cohen - Mastersong

We have two calamansi trees growing on our balcony. This morning as I write they are covered with fragrant white blossoms. The smell of the citrus perfume takes me back to Southern California and my own springtime.

Age has given me some peace and for that I am grateful. But youth gave me crazy love and for that I sometimes long.
