Beijing Experiance

For 5 days I worked with Art and Design students from China developing their projects.  It was an intense, rewarding experience.  I had very little time to draw, but I managed to sneak in a few.   

Random Fragments

Man enjoying cigar. I was enjoying a vegetable juice.

The inner paranoia finds its way into  the margins when I'm not looking.

Thoughts of a Octo-Character and an Octo-Toy.  

The flow of life is rushing, rushing, rushing forward.  I want to stop, but I'm in the middle of the pulling, pounding, turbulence.  These are some fragments of the journey.  

Philosophy in Barrel

The Greek philosopher Diogenes lived in a Barrel, well really a jar, and gave us the Cynic philosophy. He would carry a lamp in daylight and cry out, "I'm looking for a honest man."  His response to Plato giving Socrates' definition that men are featherless bipeds was give Plato a plucked chicken and say, "Behold! I've brought you a man." 

Upside down

Sometimes the winds of change blow and you find yourself upside down.  Rest a moment then go right side up.

Whiskers

Here he is! Only he knows his next move.

Faces in the Day

Here are some faces seen and recorded in my sketchbook. Anyone you know?

Tree

There is this tree I can see from the window above the sink in the kitchen. It is my connection to beauty for it is ever changing, the leaves come and go with the seasons, the light dances with it from dull muted tones to full blown fire in the November evening.  When life is frantic or confusing or just too ordinary, catching a glimpse of the tree brings me back to quiet, peace and wonder: if only for a nano second.
