Any budding artists out there?

I wouldn't consider myself an artist at all, but I used to draw cartoons, two of which were published in books.

The one on the left appeared in a grammar textbook. The one on the right appeared in a media studies textbook. Over the years, various people also contacted me to use them for academic presentations, design presentations, numerous blogs (an author for Psychology Today used one repeatedly over the course of a few months). I just drew them, put them on the web, and people found them and contacted me. They're crude both artistically and comedically, I know, but they were a lot of fun and I really enjoyed that others could and did use them for something more meaningful than just my website.

They're beautiful places. The first was taken at a Cao Dai temple in Vietnam. The second is at a floating village in Ha Long bay, Vietnam. The third was taken in Bangkok, Thailand. Three resilient ladies from different places that I usually display together.

SE Asia is a must see place for sure! Glad you were able to make it! I still want to see Burma!

I tried sketching a few years ago, haven't done anything for a long time.  I do go back and make corrections, mostly to satisfy my obsessive nature.

 

 

 

The real talent is my sister, who was a professional graphics artist, now retired.

@robinjojo looks like you’ve done some etching. Is the sculpture bronze?

Actually the etching and the bronze sculpture were done by my sister, who had academic training and was a graphics artist in London for many years.  All of the artistic and musical talent genes went to her and my brother.
