Today’s Daily Create:#tdc5367 #ds106 #dailycreate Accidental Photo Arthttps://daily.ds106.us/tdc5367/ My old Pixel would often turn on in the pockets of my favorite Uniqlo shorts. They were lined with mesh, so I guess sometimes just being close enough to my leg would activate the phone. Lots of butt-dials, butt-texts, and even a few butt-toots. But, some of…
(Stops: Kunsthalle, Budapest and a random sidewalk in Bucharest Days 185 and 225) When I was in Budapest, I caught this small but very cool exhibition of works by János Géczi. I had never heard of this incredibly wide-ranging academic, poet, and visual artist. That’s what travel does for you. New ideas and experiences that…
The start of June was all in Sri Lanka with Et-chan and I did no watercolor practice at all and very little drawing. So, after a bit of a hiatus I sat down again in Kuta Lombok to get back into it. The place: Sitting outside at Surfer’s Paradise. On the right, the first attempt.…
Testing… Testing… Had to do some Internet futzing around (that’s one reason why no blogging recently) so just a quick test to see if this thing is on. Also, cephalopods. Mural at Pantai Air Manis. Mural in Old Town, Padang.
Stop: Gallery Komunitas Lukis Hegarmanah, Bandung. Google. OSM. (Day 51) I was looking for the Cikapundung Antique Market, which I was having trouble finding because I did not realize it was on the third floor of a building that housed a plumbing market on the ground floor, and an electrical supply market on the second…
Stops: There were many this day, but this post is only about this one: Studio Rosid. (Day 55) Ega, the waiter at Bandung Art Cafe, had suggested several times that I check out Studio Rosid. Pak Abu, hanging out painting in front of the Suis Butcher also recommended it. It is up in the hills…
Stops: Gajah Mada Plaza, Galeri Nasional, Taman Ismail Marzuki & IKJ (Institut Kesenian Jakarta), and RA Suites Simpatung, Jaksel. (Days 45-49) The last time I was in the city of Jakarta was mid-August 2000. Between faded memories and massive redevelopment, I might as well have never been here before. It was good to explore a…
Back in Medan (Tjong a Fie House, Jalan Kesawan. Days 34-35) Moving on from Aceh and Pulau Weh brought me back to Medan. It’s the hub for all transit. I will be passing through here again. So, it is good that I have my routine sorted out: stay at the Kama Hotel and dinner at…
Left the city behind and the nice boxy shapes of urban sketching land for something a little more organic. And, hard! Definitely a learning experience. April 2024 in Sumur Tiga, Pulau Weh. (Still) Getting Started. OK. There are a lot of things wrong with this. A lot. It is not good. There is no depth.…
So, one of the things I have planned for my sabbatical–which was not on the research application–is to put some time and effort into doing some art. I have watched a LOT of YouTube tutorials. The whole Urban Sketcher scene is an inspiration. And, something like this is amazing. I’ve done this in fits and…
