Some crazy Moleskine doodles for the day. I haven’t been doing enough of these and really need to kick my butt harder. Not sure why because it’s so dang enjoyable.

Here is the finished book. I wrote some of my own poetry on the pages and also some excerpts from the original book.

The Gloomy Mood of Ah Mei on a Sunny Day from Dialogues in Paradise by Can Xue. Da-Gou is playing with firecrackers at the other side of the yard. He inserts one into a hole in the tree and sticks out his big hips as he bends over to light it. His bottom is huge, like his father's. "Hey," I call. "Are you crazy? Can't you stop shooting those things?" https://www.instagram.com/p/CiLF34POeB-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

One of Kassel's Gallery spaces with hundreds of people speaking different languages. How not to draw them? ; ) My very first real travel(!) was epic! I visited a dozen galleries, lived in a house of an architect...
