Gives Light in the Darkness

Many people have very fantastic, wonderful, ever-fulfilling friendships or relationships. Some stare the cold lonesome wall at the face. i feel more of the latter. More so when it appears as a withdrawal symptom that hits me after leaving home and coming to metro-kl.

But take heart, He calls me back. Creeps nearer to me, clutch me by the shoulder, met my soul and assures me, "I AM here..."

forever here... Thank you Lord.
this picture is dedicated to You.

Gives Light in the Darkness,
and Grace When We Stumble

Sketch Journaling

Just got myself some new toys today from the art supply shop near my house. Presently these shall very sufficient for experimenting with black & white sketches. Learning to handle light and depth with lines.

The shopping bag includes:
1. Daler-Rowney's Willow Charcoal (med)
2. Kurecolor: Warm Grey
3. Kurecolor: Grey Tint
4. Pigma Brush: BR
5. Pigma Brush: 02


And the Experiment...

A Stray Dog

Came home this afternoon, and was walking pass a man begging on the pedestrian bridge. So instead of giving him money, i thought i should just get him a pack of rice for dinner: Chicken drumstick, spinach and rice, packed in a poly-box with a 100-Plus by the side. By the time i get back to where he was sitting, there was no more begging man to give to, he left... He left!! crappy poop, what should i do with a pack of rice i can't eat? (for those of you who don't know, i'm a vegetarian).

Standing there contemplating what to do, stunned in rejection and unbelief, i had only to head back home and hope to see any "needy" along the way. This is the first time ever i feel guilty to be looking out for someone to "help".

What do i know? there was this dog lurking behind a car, looking quite lonely, sad, and hungry (i believe). Ok, here you go boy... Chicken drumstick and spinach rice...

Strokes of my Sharpie

Vessel Lust

Inspired by comic book author Will Eisner, and with a sudden pang of a drawing urge, this is my first little sketch, drawn over dinner. Forgive my spelling...

The lines read:

Vessel for oil, perfume, poison, nectar...
Not all pots are meant to be alabaster jars.

Comments and thoughts are very welcomed.
