Todd and Peaches

 For Todd and Peaches! Inspired by Todd and Peaches, of course!!!

Well, I dunno what Todd and Peaches eat in real life but playing with food is always fun.
And eating them, of course! You get the feeling that Peaches might be the tidier eater here...

A bit of exercising to keep the mind and the body trim and happy. Mr. T the cat can learn a lot from this. Jon and Joo too....

oh, time to go up to the mountains to pick some mushrooms! Since Todd has decided to take his wonky old bicycle, Peaches decided to join him too. I am not sure if that is a good way to go UP a mountain, but Peaches is determined to keep his friend company. Actually, they have friends joining them on the climb. No one goes to the mountains for mushrooms alone, that's for sure!

Extra Duty

 Inspired by a real life event. 

Going with The Flow

Based on and inspired by a cleaner at my workplace. I love her dedication and attention to details.I use the term "Go with the flow" to show how she dances with the lines of the slats she cleans. It is a moving spectacle everyday. She doesn't speak English but speaks Mandarin in an accent I find difficult to understand. She also seems to have a lisp which makes it harder for me to understand what she is saying. But I did thank her one morning as she wiped the glass of my library door. It made her smile very widely. And it made my day.

we are all animals

I was raining. I played my ebony baritone ukulele and sang this song by Kimya Dawson. Laurie added harmonies over. I made the drawings in a cold room that smelled of disinfectant. When I looked in the mirror later, I saw an eyelash on my face.

what are you reading today? Day 11

 Today I read several children books at the library. Loved all of them! Here are 2:

Joo reads Sam, Bangs & Moonshine by Evaline Ness

Sam, Bangs & Moonshine is about a girl who tells lies like her life depends on it. And as you can see from the cover, there is a cat in the story. Not all stories with cats in them are good, but this one is.

What makes this an even better story is that there is a boy who BELIEVES everything the girl says.  Yep. Sweet...? Or... sad? You decide.  Anyway, so one day something happens, and the girl never lies again....well, not the bad sort of lies! This is a great book, with absolutely wonderful illustrations from the great Evaline Ness. 

Joo reads The Snow Maze by Jan Mark

A boy finds a strange-looking key which unlocks a gate that makes him see what others can't. Because they can't see what he sees, everyone laughs at him, except one friend. I made this drawing based on the book cover, and added myself standing next to the boy. Yep, I really got into the story. :--) A wonderful book. Nice illustrations too.

Ah Dee's Guts

 New, super short comics I did this morning. This is a continuation of my interest to document the people I meet in my neighbourhood. I started doing the series with acrylic paints and today I wanted to introduce "Ah Dee" to you with these comics. He is a butcher at the nearby wet market who loves singing Karaoke when taking breaks. He blasts the music from his lorry I think.....
