A few weeks ago, I took up a challenge of providing sketches of some hi-tech operation room equipment for an exhibition by the medical school at the King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital in Bangkok. It was an experience of a life time! A hi-tech X-Ray machine that will turn itself around you instead of turning the patient […]
Sketchblog: DayBooks 8 1/4 x 10 in. double-page Moleskine cahier spread; ink, watercolor, whatever, on paper.
I saw this scene looking through the window of a pet clinic located at Pyungchangdong, Seoul while waiting for a bus. I roughly drew lines and added watercolor at home. Though the dog sat quietly as accustomed the nurse changed the dog’s pose incessantly for trimming. I could see that the owner of the dog […]
Drawings made while teaching the course “Drawing the City” about which I blogged some weeks ago. Every lesson consists of about half an our in the classroom and 2 and a half hours of drawing from life. I always make the same exercises I propose to the the students. In this case, identifying simple volumes… …before […]
Skets ini saya buat saat pagelaran wayang semalam suntuk di Jakarta pada waktu dan tempat yang berbeda, tetapi animo masyarakat yang sebagian berasal dari Jawa Tengah sangat luar biasa. Pagelaran ini tidak hanya sebuah tontonan atau hiburan belaka tetapi sekaligus sebagai kelangenan dan momen yang agak jarang. Sebagian penonton ada yang berpakaian tradisional lengkap, beskap, […]
Sharing an old sketch I did in 2009… in Solvang, CA. I was looking through my old sketches just to reminisce my short stint in the US from 2006 to 2009. Not sure whether I would be going back but I am definitely thinking of going somewhere again… maybe down under… 😀 😀

We tend to do lengthy walking tours (usually 3+ hours) in the morning when it’s relatively cool and we’re all relatively well-rested. At the end of the tours, we’re often in some part of town that I might not visit otherwise. And, […]

The leading Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei has been held by the Chinese authorities without charge for more than two months now. He was arrested in Beijing as he was boarding a plane to Hong Kong on 3 April. His show at the Lisson Gallery, London, which opened in May, has gone ahead nonetheless, […]
The most famous thing about Seattle is the Eiffel Tower. So I figured, I’m here so I might as well draw it. I even rode up and down in the thing. It’s pretty smart when cities build Eiffel Towers. People with cameras love that stuff. Seattle is always overcast so I caught a break that […]
You have probably read Álvaro’s post about the drawings he did on the andalusian sketchcrawl that took place last saturday in the city of Córdoba. In that oportunity, nearly 30 sketchers from different cities of Andalusia meet there, and I was one of them, Málaga is just 150 km away. I had the chance of […]
