Summer Excursions

Here are some sketches I made from the summer of 2010. I’m not the biggest fan of black and white photographs but I love black and white drawings.

Marker on paper, 2010. I can’t remember where this was or why I was there, but I had to wait for some people so I sketched this out while I was waiting and finished shading it later. Maybe this was at UCLA?

Marker on paper, 2010. I sketched this during my cousin’s graduation. A long time of sitting can be an opportunity for a long time of sketching.

Retreat

Marker on paper, 2009

Several years ago I sketched out different moments of my church’s winter retreat in chronological order on a long roll of paper to show the passage of time in one drawing. I really enjoyed blending places and activities together inconspicuously. I guess life is kind of life that – there are rarely rigid lines that separate one moment from another.
