Relax

PEDRO UK

In the 1980's I played bass guitar in a reggae band. That was a trip let me tell you. To this day I still have dreams that I'm back in the studio with those guys.

Pedro, our riddim guitarist, and I are still in close contact. He continues to put out music from his home studio in Birmingham, England. He uses some of my art for his videos. This one looks nice.

Malajoh bay, Samar, Philippines

I dreamed last night that the world had been taken over by blood thirsty aliens.

How silly of me.

doodle edition

My art, really, arose from my doodlings during class as a boy. I mean seriously, what else are you supposed to do during those lectures. And you have a pen in your hand..

Later I doodled at work. Same game, different decade.

So here are some doodles I made at work. They were all drawn with whatever pen I was using that day on whatever paper I had in front of me.

I might have more lying around. I'll look in the closets..

Black sharpie in my moleskin

Earwax cafe Chicago, 2000

Is the Earwax cafe still open? Anyone in Chicago? I used to go there and drink esspresso coffee and doodle in my moleskin.

Sipping a warm cup of coffee while just outside there'd be a raging cold midwestern blizzard. I loved Chicago.

My only regret in life is that I didn't come to the Philippines sooner. I love it here.

colored pencil, calbayog city, 2025

Being that my kids were busy building a pillow and blanket fortress this morning, I had unfettered access to the colored pencils.

No other reason.

I drew this in layers. This was the first layer.

A blue, so long ago

colored pencil and black sharpie

Calbayog City 2024

The Philippine Sea is a deep almost violet blue.

It came to me in a dream once.

And now I'm here.

But I'm not there.

And isn't that where I've always been?

This drawing is pretty much done, but it's not done.

In any case, I've moved on to the next piece.

Write that on my tombstone.
