Ink Drawing
John Lennon was murdered just after he emerged from hiatus from the music industry; Michael Jackson died of an overdose less than 3 weeks before his long-due performance.
Bob Dylan is still singing. If they were still alive, they might have joined him for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
a cat and flowers in the midday
the cat is sleeping in the sunlight
sound under the roof
a shadow fell on the bundle
of flowers left
on the ground of 4th avenue
time just passes the midday
and the shadows all coming out from the corners
in the daydream
there are many cats
in frames hanging
on the wall
and the yard
the light is so dazzling
if someone now
shouts OUT:
we DO NOT need Literature and Poetry
then, Die
right away

Today while I was waiting for the garage to install my new winter tires, I took a walk down to the Ottawa River. It was a pleasant day for a leisurely walk with a temperature of 15 C and a near cloudless sky. I brought along a small sketchbook and found a good spot to spend almost two hours of drawing. I've sketched here on other occasions and have always enjoyed the view. From my vantage point, I could see a small lookout over the water which is named Quai Belle Isle (that was once the name of Kettle Island which is directly across the river). Further in the background you can see the ONEC boat house and downtown Gatineau.
Aujourd'hui, alors que j'attendais que le garage installe mes nouveaux pneus d'hiver, je me suis promené jusqu'à la rivière des Outaouais. C'était une journée agréable pour une promenade tranquille avec une température de 15 C et un ciel presque sans nuages. J'ai apporté un petit carnet de croquis et j'ai trouvé un bon endroit pour passer près de deux heures à dessiner. J'ai dessiné ici à d'autres occasions et j'ai toujours apprécié la vue. De mon point de vue, je pouvais voir un petit belvédère au-dessus de l'eau qui s'appelle Quai Belle Isle (c'était autrefois le nom de Kettle Island qui se trouve directement de l'autre côté de la rivière). Plus loin en arrière-plan, vous pouvez voir le hangar à bateaux de l'ONEC et le centre-ville de Gatineau.

I was invited to sketch in the shop for a couple of hours. This is the owner, Sebastian, in different positions. He had to keep still for me!
We’re walking around the sketching scenes and streets of Oststadt in Karlsruhe tomorrow from 6pm starting at the Cemetery Info Center, if anyone wants to join us:
When I heard that this building may be demolished, I rushed out to sketch it. It’s listed but this doesn’t always means much in Karlsruhe.
The owner came out and said don’t draw the weeds, she still hasn’t weeded. I said I can change anything in the sketch. She said can I make it into a 5-bed house!
There’s so much to draw in this city. Stuff everywhere and with many tall buildings. A lot of tower blocks had the basic construction completed but the individual flats looked like they were built later by their owners, each with in their own style. One block must have been about 25 stories with only a handfull of completed flats.
It kept starting to rain every time I went outside to continue to draw this. In the end, luckily I could finish it inside with the same view.
