i feel an urge to get more into abstract shapes of plants nowadays 🌱

create everyday 69/365 (lol not continuously everyday but trying my best!)

i decided not to continue with peachtober because i feel my gut wanting to draw/work on other things that i am itching to do! todays piece was relatively fast but somehow this girl stepping into water came to mind

drawn in procreate

drawing also allowed me to pay attention to the emotions and expressions on stage and had me in awe seeing how much fun the musicians were having too 🎷

it was so much fun and so much play, the music was mesmerizing and the energy both on and off stage was so in flow. i had not really been a jazz listener before but todays show put it all in a whole new perspective for me.

then later while the tokyo blue notes orchestra group played (absolutely phenomenal btw), i did some gestural sketches and played with color along with the music.

grateful for how close to nature taipei is, and a bus ride up, could hear all the birds, insects, and water sounds. i also saw some giant butterflies, ants, and a centipede.

but i think im starting to feel more comfortable playing with paints now. its late so i did something simple for the inside of my sketchbook and also did some prepping for more drawing this weekend ~

its gotten me thinking to draw more asian women in a way that appeals to me, maybe more magical, wacky and powerful than any i’ve seen depicted in art

i wonder how my women/femme/queer ancestors lived their lives, and how they would have liked to live their lives if they could have chosen.

timelapse!

rest is always important! todays piece is mixed media done at a vietnamese cafe in taipei. not a lot of people but managed to see a lady eating pho and a man using his phone!
