How the World Eats

2008-01-27T14:33:00.000-08:00

Inspired by a Times article and other blogposts about Peter Menzel and Faith D'Aluisio's book, How the World Eats, I decided to take a look at what I had eaten in the past week, from Jan. 20 thru Jan. 26, 2008. Granted, I can't remember at all what I ate last Sunday evening, but this is a fairly close approximation of the week's consumption. Pretty interesting exercise. (I'm certain I would be much more ashamed of all my possessions lined up for a photo per their book, Material World.)

If only I traveled more.
If only I depended on my camera less.
I would sketch more.

Tales from a moleskin

2007-11-11T08:35:00.000-08:00

These are two images from about a year ago. I drew the first image before I arrived to the Czech Republic as a sort of idea of what I could expect to find when I got there. The latter was captured at the Czech airport before leaving the country to return home.

The sketchiness of the situations can be fully observed:

medium: ink;

medium: ink;
exhibit b: sits directly across from airport patrons and sketches them. does not allow them to notice.

Next time I'll post something new.

Super Sketchy Conversations over Fish n' Chips

KK: I feel ready to have kids.
AP: My friend said there are so many ways to f*ck up kids, she's never going to have any.
KK: But there are so many experiments you can do on a kid.
AP: KK will never babysit my kids.
KK: I wouldn't do experiments on other people's kids, only my own.

Boom Boom Boom and you don't know who the father is.
