bird’s mouth joint
I’m not sure for what instances these joints are used, but I made one anyway. It’s called bird’s mouth joint. We started this on Sept 27, but I’m the slowest person in class. So I just finished it tonight.

I wish I had a waterproof sketchbook and waterproof pen so that when I go swimming, I can sketch what I see under and above water. So here are two little sketches just done by memory.
Thriller season
Apparently October is Thriller season. It’s one of the most requested dances to be performed for obvious reasons. Halloween, zombies, dance. I’m not terribly excited about this, I admit.

In honor of my girl band medley flash mob day, I am drawing my outfit for the day to document this event for it may never ever happen again. I am happy with my final choice. This is definitely something I don’t normally wear, but thanks to Thrift Town, Sock…
Girl Band Medley flash mob day!

I had a project at work and it involved the ingredients in the drawing I made. I thought it would be more fun to post this without giving the answer (so that I can confuse myself later on) .
a glimpse into processes
When I see my dioramas in their respective jars, I see them as sketches. Even though they have been made permanent by glue, I still think of them as transitory, a glimpse, a snapshot. To make these “sketches”, I make sketches of them based on thoughts, memories, and ideas. So here…

Yup, another drawing on the BART. I often have a hard time focusing on one thing. I get distracted easily. So when I’m on the BART train, I make a point not to play on my phone and instead, I draw. I like to draw people even though I’m not very…
