Found this persimmon with a branch on the ground and decided to draw it before eating it.

Senior lady with key and whistle on the train
Saw this senior lady on the train who wore a key and whistle on her chest and was talking with herself and patting an invisible companion, and did a quick sketch of her after finishing my dinner.

Fallen leaves
Animated some leaves over a photo I took of a package of fallen leaves collected by a worker whose process I observed while having lunch on a high floor balcony the other day.

Acorns
Process: paint one acorn in Adobe Fresco from which create custom brush in Adobe Capture and paint back many acorns in Adobe Fresco.
Inspiration: witnessed the prodigious quantity of acorns on the ground and wondered about its potential as a food source (edible by humans after leaching out the tannins).

Bing concert hall
25 years ago when Sergei Brin and I were in the same piano class I wouldn’t have predicted that one day there will be a concert hall named after him.

I like the circular setup of the Bing concert hall, with the stage in the middle and the audience surrounding it, which makes the performance more intimate and engaging, and the sound effect is great. It also doesn’t hurt that Stanford is much closer to where I live than San Francisco (with performance venues that I have attended).

Two sides of a scam
A 60+ years old ordinary joe is divorcing his wife and moving to a different part of the world after meeting a 35 years old beautiful woman claiming to be a millionaire living in a posh house.
I can picture you rolling your eyes now, but this is actually happening right now with an acquaintance of mine.
For that scam to work, he has to be stupid enough to believe it and cruel enough to ditch his wife. Would she have the kindness and generosity to take him back in the end?

Accidental art from a broken train station display
Saw this broken train station display showing intriguing patterns caused by the interactions between the surrounding light and display structure, and got some inspiration to create abstract art from it.

Side effect of wearing company t-shirt in public
The conductor on my evening train came to me and joked that “Adobe should lower the price”.

Cupcake wars – virtual decoration
There was an employee event for cupcake decoration competition on Thursday afternoon. I took a few bases, which seemed healthier than the toppings, and decorated them virtually via company products.
