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.

Random hotel

colored pencils on paper

Los Angeles 2019

I keep having this recurring dream. In the dream I'm looking for a home to live in. I'm always alone in an unfamiliar city. As I search for a home I have a tired lost feeling. And then I wake up and I remember that I have a home. It's such a relief.

Time and Entropy

Time and entropy arise mutually like a boat and its wake.

Entropy is fractal which means that time never began.

So relax.

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.

Utah Desert

colored pencil on paper 2014

When I was a young boy in the 1950s we lived in Utah for a while. I was maybe six or seven. We, my friends and I, would go for long walks through the beautiful high plains desert. Sometimes in the distance we could hear big booms as they tested nuclear weapons across the mountains in Nevada.

2024. I'm living in the Philippines now. In the distance I can hear roosters crowing and dogs barking. Different time different world.

I like this drawing. If I was the snail I would like this drawing too.
