A New Year

Sunday, January 25th, 2004

I’m back from Tahiti. Actually, I’ve been back for quite awhile now, and have just recently caught up with work and life. You can take a look at my Tahiti trip photos, some of them are online in the photos section.

The Lunar New Year happened just recently. It’s interesting, I really feel that this year is going to be different. I can’t really put my finger on it yet, but it feels like various things are aligning themselves, where last year, things just seemed to be a little ahead of or behind themselves.

I bought a new sketchbook, this one’s bigger, and the paper’s smoother. I’ve realized that drawing young kids is really a challenge, there’s some quality about them that makes them appear their age, and if you’re even a little off, they end up looking older, somehow. You’ll see what I mean when I post my next sketch in about a week.
