Johnnie Walker Black Label

The good old Black Label.

Bavarian Style

I miss the freshly baked pretzels with sticks of butter from Ingolstadt, Germany. The ones here tastes like cardboard. no thanks.

Mississippi Mud

drinkin' some Mississippi Mud. The fact that it's in a jug makes this awesome. You just stick your index finger in the eyelet and tip the jar over your shoulder, and enjoy. However, it's missing the 'XXX' markings.

 While enjoying the Miss mud, I watched Castaway on the Moon, Kim Ssi Pyo Ryu Gi. A strange film that I thoroughly enjoyed. It's about a guy who gets stranded on an island when he decided to end his life by jumping off a bridge, but fails. and now is stuck there. The film is absurd and sweet. Check it out if you want to experience something fascinating.

fluorescent kitchen

fluorescent lighting is something that looks unflattering in real life. As someone would say, "it's a girl's nightmare".
however, in films they look interesting. Wong Kar Wei uses a lot of fluorescent lighting. So when I was painting this one, I had his films in mind.

Travel Town

People actually hang out here! With so many people walking about, it almost seems like an active station, with people arriving at their destination, Travel Town.

I keep thinking it's called ToonTown, with the two T's. But as many know, it's a great place to paint trains in Griffith Park.

Watercolor.

Lacy Park

watercolor painting of Lacy Park. It's a really nice park in San Marino. The drive there is nice too, passing by all the mansions. One day...

Rainbow sandals

Rainbow sandals are very popular and known to be very comfortable, but at a price. and who knew that price would be confusion.

So one night, I had friends come over. It was a warm night, and so everyone decided to wear sandals, and guess what, we all owned the same pair. you can really only distinguish your sandals from another by the subtle difference in the wear of the sole. and that wear does not look pretty... If you own one, you know what I'm talking about. It turns black. 

well, the next morning, I go to wear my sandals and when I slipped it on, it felt different. and the wear didn't look right. Someone took my sandals!? and the guy who took it just came back from Thailand. I kept picturing where he walked around in that sweaty sandal out-of-country. i felt really uncomfortable wearing it the whole day. It's like wearing someone's used clothing, but worse because how often does one wash sandals?
