I once saw a groundhog poking its head out of its mound in a nearby county park.
This one was drawn via a reference photo.

This package of face masks took about 40 days to reach me from my parents in Taipei.

Book challenge

A Facebook friend nominated me to a 7-day book challenge.
I took it but without nominating the next person so that I would not offend or spam anyone.

I am glad that I could include a diverse set of topics (computer science, finance, sci-fi, physics, history, math, art) without any serious technical/textbooks.

During an evening walk I noticed a lone red flower sitting in the middle of a grass land, which inspired me to draw this variation.

Self pencil portrait of a profile view after failed attempts to cut my own hair

Experimental results indicated that it is very tricky to cut my own hair for desirable outcomes, even though it is worth trying as I need to know for sure whether I could pull it off.

For the first time, I had this magic experience that a self-portrait is a dialog with oneself.

There was some left over hair dye made from natural material which I experimented for painting medium before its oxidation.

I saw a beautiful rainbow while walking outside in a sunny drizzling evening.
I did not bring a camera for photograph, but drew a quick watercolor from memory afterwards.
