Italy sketch. My moleskine now has 4 more empty pages. Sorry I haven’t post anything lately, been busy clearing works.

Here’s my submission for Illustration Friday.

Was looking at the encarta, a trail can also means drape: to hang, grow, or float loosely.

Thought my drawing of Duranta or Golden Dewdrops fits nicely.

Drawn directly on site. Your comment is highly appreciated! Thanks!

My moleskine: 5 pages left.

My moleskine: 6 pages left.

The last time I submitted my drawings was back in October 2009 and the topic was Fast. I am making a comeback. Here’s a plate of my favourite Spagheti Vongole, drawn from a picture I took while in Rome back in March.

Found a recipe by Jamie Oliver. Will try and make it next weekend. And oh, which one is the best substitute for wine: apple cider vinegar, grape juice or tamarind juice? Let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

P/S My moleskine; 7 pages more.

Gone are the days that I draw for pleasure.

I have been taking jobs after jobs and after awhile, I lost the passion of doing it. I really need to take a BIG break soon after I clear pending works:

• 60 illustrations, of which I have only done 4 of them
• Pendidik magazine illustrations, of which I have 4 more issues to handle until end of this year
• Flower Guardians, I have 30 illustrations so far, promised to deliver 100.

After that, I just want to sit down, read books and draw for pleasure. Nothing more. Nothing less. I am so tired.

Anyway, my moleskine: 8 pages left. Drew the grass last weekend.

9 pages left for me to post from my moleskine sketchbook, of which, I have already drew 3 pages.

My nephew was admitted on 14th May due to dengue fever and his platelet count was as low as 19. Normal is between 150 – 450. 6 days at the hospital, his fever was on and off with platelet counts of 27, 35, 14, 47 and a day before he was discharged, the count popped up to 120.

…for the dentist to attend to me few months back. I was waiting for hours and when I finally went inside the room, there were 6 other patients inside!! The dentist was attending to all 6 and guess how long I waited? Before getting into the room — 3 hours, inside the room almost 2 hours before my wisdom tooth finally being pulled.

Now, is that normal for a dentist to attend to 6 patients at a time?

Anyway, my moleskine: 10 pages left. I have more, will post one a day.

While waiting for 3 hours, I managed to draw this, read old magazines, daydreamed, picked my nose, went to the lavatory for 3 times and many more…

11 pages left to draw.

I won this bag for my illustration submitted back in 2001 (if I’m not mistaken) for Escada Ibiza Hippie promotion in a local magazine. Also won an Escada Ibiza Hippie perfume.

Did this drawing while waiting at KLCC Park for son and husband to pick me up after a meeting with Petronas Gallery.

Mind my vintage handphone…
