It’s been a while since I’ve drawn Puddles and Lil’ O. I’m going to revisit this again at some point.

Seattle-Portland-Toronto Weekend
Caught the Blazers game on Saturday, flew out to Toronto for Low-Dao’s 60th birthday on Super Bowl Sunday, and just got back to Seattle today. Go Hawks, and time for bed!
Sketch of Julie on the way to Portland. Sketch of Gabe on the same ride. Talking with Russ, a dog breeder watching over a young Shelty pup probably named Journey. Passengers waiting at O’Hare. Waiting for our ride at Pearson. Olwen reads Caitlyn a bedtime story. Sketches of people at Pearson and O’Hare. Because of the NY cancellations, the flight ended up being pretty empty.

Labor Day Pike Place sketches
Visited Pike Place Market with Olvie. While we were there, she asked for a few pointers on drawing. It wasn’t my best sketching day, but that didn’t matter given how nice of a day it was.
Quick sketch of a hallway within Pike Place Market. Olvie works out a sketch while Olwen looks on in Pike Place Market. Parents in the marketplace. A window shopper peruses past the vendors. View from behind the market. Ferry boat moving off the dock. -

A little late, but congrats to Sung Hon and Cola for tying the knot!
Sung Hon finishes his words of encouragement to Cola. Dancing gestures Dancing gestures Dancing gestures I got back from spending this last weekend with the in-laws in Vancouver for a wedding of their family friends. Usually when I am with them, it usually ends up becoming a Chinese lesson with me providing the laughs as I struggle with my broken Cantonese. Here are some of the notes.
“Ah-Ma” (Polly) and “Low Dao” (Rex) enjoy some dessert after arriving on Thursday. Jason and Jackie, family friends, tie the knot. Jackie gives her vows to Jason. A couple more Jason sketches. Two attempts at Jackie. I think Jason was the first Mountie I’ve ever seen in person. Uncle Silas, a family friend, looks on. Ah-Ma and Low Dao watch the bouquet toss. Auntie Jenny and Mark enjoying lunch at their restaurant. Low Dao photographs an obelisk at the Richmond Olympic Oval. A quick sketch of the Richmond Olympic Oval where the speed skating event was held. Auntie Jenny had some bananas in the car much to the chagrin of Olwen. A couple value studies inside Auntie Jenny’s house. “Fei suk-suk”, Auntie Jenny’s husband, takes an order at his restaurant. Coordinated kite-flying at Garry Point Park. A view off the shore of Garry Point Park. An attempt at drawing a friend from memory, Ah-Ma, and Olwen lounging on a couch. Some highlights from my Cantonese lessons. -
