A drawing from yesterday's drawing.

Last night I slept well. Very well. I woke up this morning with that well slept glow.

And then I had the most wonderful cup of coffee.

A fresh cup of coffee on top of a well slept glow is Van Nuys.

Van Nuys indeed.

Nuff respect for Donovan

Sending out some love

FROM THE PHILIPPINES

Embrionic Journey - Jefferson Airplane

A student once asked Martin Heidegger how we should spend our lives. Heidegger replied, "We should spend more time in grave yards."

I, myself, would have answered, "We should spend more time bathing in waterfalls."

These drawing are like playing with finger paints but with maybe a little more intectual input.

I work in layers. The above drawings is made of five layers. Below is the drawing after three layers. Really fun to watch them grow.

Newly arrived kittens

Our neighbor's cat recently had a litter of kittens, and being as our neighbor can't afford to buy cat food, our house has now been invaded by five hungry kittens. The kitten energy is infectious.

San Francisco 2003

I spent Christmas 2003 with some friends in San Francisco. They lived in this big two-hundred-year-old house that sat on the prison grounds of San Quentin penitentiary. It's a long story actually but what I remember most was the bed. The guest room of the house had this large old four posted wooden bed frame with the softest thickest most wonderful mattress I have ever slept on in my entire life. I will never forget the moment when I laid down and sank into the loving folds of that luxurious mattress. I felt embraced by softness, and I fell asleep as if floating on a cloud.

When I awoke the next morning I was amazed at the time. I had slept through the entire night without waking up once. I felt wonderfully refreshed.

After breakfast I sat down with my sharpie and drew both of these drawings in a single sitting.

You see Doc, I tell myself that I'm not going to draw another one, and then, I just... do it.

Red, lavender, pink and tangerine.

I must have drawn fifteen variations of this drawing. I don't know why. Most of them I drew during down time at work. I liked the image. I still do. It gives me hope for the future. Again, I don't know why.

Maybe I'll draw another.
