Ordinary life was too peaceful

I felt like playing with physical space today.  This drawing is on board using pigment liner pens, markers and ink.  For some reason when I put the flowers in his right hand, I felt compelled to add a rifle to his left hand.

I needed a mission

Sunday, a day of rest and recuperation. I sometimes use it as a day to tidy my mind, as usually reflected in tidying the house.  Somewhere between the dust and the cobwebs I realised what I really needed was a mission…

Saturday Experiments

The heavy rain has us all inside. There’s only one thing to do is this circumstance and that’s tweak the blog because we have to stay relevant right?  So I’m experiment with a couple of  live blogging applications.  One from 24LiveBlog and the other (out of date, but hopefully still...

Have you ever wondered about wonder?

“Rejoice young man in your youth…” I remember reading that quote on the big screen as the music fired up at the start of Oliver Stone’s, Platoon. I was cadet candidate for West Point at the time. On one side of me sat my buddy Sean, a short blonde kid...

The things I agree to late at night on a random Thursday

I have a habit of saying yes, sometimes without thinking. That’s how I found myself being shoved a pair of baby blue socks with the word Airhop printed on them in pink.  I then sat through a safety briefing that encouraged us to have fun at the same time reminding...

In a room full of emptiness, play these tunes

As I sit listening to these tunes, I realise they are all pretty intense in subject matter. I know it’s Friday and usually folks pop in the party mix, but if you find yourself with a spare hour and you’re looking for an intense ride, then this is the playlist...

Andoer 360 Panorama Video Camera Unboxing

Ok, so this is my first attempt at an unboxing video. I know it’s a strange ritual to watch someone unbox something they bought.  Usually that kind of thing is only done on Christmas and birthdays.  At least then it makes sense because presumably it’s your family and friends watching...

Blogs have lost their soul

Before I sat down to post this video, I was going to declare to you that this was going to be the first video of a 30 day vlogging challenge.  Something that I decided to do on a whim yesterday.  But this morning, I had one of those light bulb...

I exist because I think too much

I seem to have an existential crisis every other week. At least I’m not alone. Someone in the Guardian asked, “What is an existential crisis?” One brain box answered: It’s what happens when the foundation of one’s most basic assumptions ( i.e. what one is living for, who one is,...

Step through the doorway of fear

I saw this quote from Paulo Coelho on Instagram: “One day you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always wanted. Do it now.” It’s a quote from his novel The Zahir, which I read a long time ago. Anyway, I’m sharing...

Not the unbeautiful

Today, my mood was up and down like a yo-yo.  Most likely because I’ve changed my eating pattern, but hey-ho the show must go on. I really enjoyed making this picture.  It pretty much started from the egg-shaped head on the left and grew from there.  I’ll be doing more...

Our desires have no end

The world has many appearances and realities.  Our desires have no end.  What can we do? We try to find the patterns of life. We try to not let ourselves be washed away by time.  Everything is clear. Prints available here, starting at £10.91
