Doodle Dragon

Started as a doodle while on the phone, kept working at it and here's where it ended up. Doodledragon is born. I think I'll try to color it at some point as well.

Chips and salsa

Trying to draw a little bit (at least) every day.

Yun Nan Flavor Snack Shop Inc.

Jen and I went to Brooklyn's Chinatown in Sunset Park on Sunday to eat and exlpore a bit. I made a little drawing in my moleskin while we were waiting for our hot and sour dumpling soup, and our noodles with short rib soup. Tasty! Also had some incredible banh mi at Ba Xuyen. Simplicity yields some tasty morsels here: Behind the simple counter/case there was a giant wok and a giant vat of broth for readying everything on the menu. A regular domestic fridge full of goodies in the back and a little ledge for your broth and elbows and tiny folding stools complete the decor.

monstertauk

Now I see what was causing all those weird clouds. He doesn't look so bad.

logotype for me

Trying to come up with something simple; a monogram, a logotype, a little jzeusze for the corner of a resume, etc. Will tweak tweak tweak and upload more iterations.

Strange things brewing at the End

We were witness to some incredible cloud formations in Montauk on Sunday 27 July. It looked like someone was on the other side of the clouds with an eggbeater, churning the clouds into this thick blue soup. The pointy, meringue-like tips seemed to be coming straight down to touch us. Thunder was rolling constantly for about a half hour, with some minor flashes accompanying them. We felt a few drops of rain and went inside, at which point a deluge of biblical proportions fell. This was responsible for our lovely 5-hour train ride home to Brooklyn (normally a little over 3). No color correction or retouching on these photos, the color was really this eerie steel blue. It was awesome.

I suppose there is something to the magnetic qualities of trailer parks and nasty storms. Montauk Shores gets a mention in an article in the current issue of Vanity Fair, as well: "Where the elite meet" or somesuch description, as well as being referred to as the "Ditch Trailer Park" since it sits at the end of Ditch Plains road. Quite the hot property my in-laws are nice enough to share with me.
